Beneath The Scars

Beneath the Scars is an incredibly painful story of destruction wrought by manipulative, revengeful people on their unsuspecting victims, leaving them broken and in hiding. Despite having been duped by a despicable character, Megan retains her gentle spirit and caring heart. Thus, when she meets the badly scarred man on the beach, the one she was warned about, she cannot help herself and extends a hand of friendship to him. Megan cautiously approaches Zachary, offering him friendship and gifts until he can no longer avoid her. Thus begins a friendship built on mutual need and understanding. Parts of the plot were almost too painful to read, leaving me with a feeling that I was an outsider looking in, ashamed for staring at their wounds and vulnerability. Despite the violent storm brewing in their hearts, this is a tender romance, one that ultimately brings healing and new purpose. This novel, a copy of which I received as a gift, is a standalone and comes to a very satisfactory conclusion.
