Scars We Didn’t See (What Went Wrong #2)

He walked away to protect her. Now, he’ll do anything to win her back.

After fleeing the relationship that almost destroyed me, I arrive in the small town of Richmond, Tasmania, with nothing but a suitcase and the hope of starting over.

Falling for the local cabinetmaker wasn’t part of my plan. It’s too soon. I’m not ready. But Aiden is nothing like I expect. Beneath his gruff, guarded exterior is a man who’s unexpectedly kind and thoughtful. He’s someone I’m slowly starting to trust.

But the perfect night we share ends with Aiden walking away without a word. The days that follow are even worse. His cruelty almost shatters me, but I refuse to be broken again. I’ve fought too hard…and I deserve more.

Happy endings aren’t meant for men like me. Ten years ago, I made a mistake that ruined lives and left me drowning in guilt. I’ve kept everyone at arm’s length ever since. Safer for them. Safer for me.

Then Lola arrives in town, and suddenly, keeping my distance isn’t so easy. Shes too sweet to ignore. I give in. Just once. But then I cross the line I swear I won’t—I hurt her.

Now, Lola won’t even look at me, and I might have lost my only chance at something real. But I’m done running. I’ll do whatever it takes to make things right…even if she never forgives me.
