Three Loving Words

I dreamed of a boy to fall head over heels for me and treat me like the sun rose and set at my feet, especially after living in the shadow of my perfect sister and never feeling good enough for my family. When I decided to earn my parentsโ love in a dramatic fashion, Iโll admit that I never imagined marrying him would end up part of the bargain.The kicker? Enzo Faust didnโt want to marry me, either. And yet, here we are, a man that I both fear and loathe is my โI doโฆfor better or worse.โ I just didnโt anticipate that itโd be more โworseโ than โbetter.โIโm Paige Stiles, and hereโs my story.

Menace
J.M. Darhower - 2017

With his face partially disfigured, scarred, he looks every bit the monster the stories make him out to be: the notorious menace they call Scar. They say he's a sociopath. Maybe he's a psychopath. Whatever path he's on, people tend to stay far away from it.Until one day, a young woman bumps right into him--a woman just as fed up with life, but for much different reasons. With a Scarlet Letter inked on her wrist and secrets buried deep in her soul, Morgan Myers is running from something... or maybe somebody. Lorenzo isn't quite sure.You can bet your ass he's going to figure it out, though.
