The Scars Keeper — Scarlet Wolfe

Avery My scars are mine alone. They're the validation of my pain. The anxiety, anger and sadness I bleed. My dark secret. A grim, ugly truth. Most of all, they're the one thing in my life I control. It's inevitable that one day I'll have to reveal them to someone. What I wasn't expecting was to share them now with him … with Hayden. Hayden Girls like Avery are all the same. They're spoiled, superficial blondes who don't appreciate mommy and daddy's wealth. Plastic shells that are empty on the inside. Or so I thought … but I was wrong. Avery's heart is an abyss of emotions. She feels like no one I've ever met, wallowing in her insecurities and anguish yet savoring every exciting moment within her reach. I was blindsided by the immense love she was willing to give once she trusted me, and I was left with no choice but to trust her, too, exposing my own pain and scars. I hate myself for caving in … for loving her. How do you let go of the one person you let in? How do you say goodbye to the girl who trusted you with her body and soul? I have to leave Avery, and where I'm going, I can't take her with me. She's going to believe I built her up only to tear her down, but what she doesn't realize is unlike her, I can't change my destiny. I was born into the Knights Union MC, and it's where I'll go to die.
