"She is an ordinary girl. Or was, until life threw something at her that changed her forever. Unable to return to herself."
****
Laura Knight was only twelve when her father died in a road accident. Four years later, she somehow found herself in almost an identical situation. But this time it wasn't her dad, no it was her mum. And her little sister. And their killer.
Now, living in London with her new family, life was finally getting back on track. That was until Laura started to go through her mum's old stuff. And not only did she find out a few home truths about her dysfunctional deceased family, but also she learned quite a bit about their seemingly dead killer.
But 'what if's and 'but's can ruin lives.

𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬
She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
