Scorned
DAMAGED SERIES, BOOK SIX
|
Nobody could’ve known how far they’d go. Not even her.
I wore my thick skin like a shield, thinking her words would bounce off me. I spent three long years foolishly thinking nothing she said had penetrated it. Then, in one night, my carefully constructed armour crumbled around me. I became careless. Impulsive. I tried to gain validation from someone I’d just met, a guy with sandy blond hair and dimples that made it hard to think straight. Time flashed forward, and I woke in a foreign bed, groggy, naked, and with no memory of how I got there. Grabbing my clothes, I covered myself, determined to escape before anyone could see me. But the rumours chased me—down the hall, into a closet, where the ruggedly handsome lieutenant known for getting under my skin found me, his chest heaving, a scowl on his face. He carried me out, vowing to find answers. But as he uncovered the missing time, he realized I wasn’t only the victim of sexual assault but also tied to a homicide investigation—and my high school bully was at the heart of it all. ______________ PLEASE NOTE: This book contains dark themes and sensitive subject matter that may be difficult for some readers. Recommended for readers 18+. ______________ Scorned is the third book in a three-book romantic suspense series of companion novels for the Broken series. Each book can be read as a standalone, though if you plan to read the Broken series, it would be best to read Fractured after the trilogy. |
