Hidden Scars

Nayla lives life in bold colors and even bolder choices. As New York's rising model, she's fearless, outspoken, and allergic to commitment. Men serve one purpose in her world, and she's perfectly fine with that. But when she crashes into Adrian Stone's carpentry studio, her tried-and-true methods of seduction crash and burn. Tattooed, mysterious, and infuriatingly immune to her charms, Adrian is the first man to tell her no.

Their explosive first encounter leaves her frustrated, intrigued, and craving more of the brooding craftsman who guards his heart behind walls as strong as his muscled arms. But Adrian's scars run deeper than the ones on his skin. As Nayla chips away at his defenses, she discovers there's more to the grumpy carpenter than his rough exterior suggests.

Now she's facing two terrifying firsts: the man she can't seduce, and the feelings she can't control.
