Scars to Your Beautiful

My remorse is skin deep.

I live paycheck to paycheck, call the apartment on the scary side of the city my home, and have no life outside of working two jobs. When given the chance to crash a masquerade party in the rich part of town, I readily agree. What I didn't expect is to be escorted to the party by Jaxson McCallister, a man from my past who holds a dark grudge against me. A man who doesn't have a clue it's me beneath the mask. Or does he?

I'm unwilling to forgive her.

The law was too soft on her, and she knows it. I can't forgive or forget Tavi Gabriel for her role in my little sister's death. When she drops into my life again after going MIA, I'm determined to make her pay for getting off easy.

But when I see the pain and remorse etched on her face as a deep scar, can I forgive and forget her? Or will I demand a different penance that will test my long-buried feelings for her?
