The Scars We Hide

<p><strong>Chloe</strong></p><p><strong>Seven years ago I vanished from a life of terror rebuilding myself in a new city with a new identity. I've kept my distance safe in the shadows until a chance encounter at work pulls me toward a man I can't resist. Just as I start to have hope for a better future the darkness begins to close in. Now I'm caught between the life I've created and the past that won't let me go forced to fight for everything-or lose it all.</strong></p><p><strong>Nick</strong></p><p><strong>I've always believed in love but haven't let anyone in for years-until I met her. Her eyes speak of a past burdened with pain and her heart is fortified by walls that seem unbreakable. Yet I'm irresistibly drawn to her and committed to dismantling those barriers no matter how long it takes. </strong></p><p><br> </p>
