Her new boss, Blake Watson is the perfect example of everything sheâÇÖd once believed sinful. His ink-covered skin, mysterious behaviour and disconcerting awareness of what she has hidden in the silent places, keep her both intrigued and terrified.Despite the echo of her fatherâÇÖs warnings, Rebecca canâÇÖt resist the temptation to follow him into the unknown, and risk what is left of the woman she once was. But Blake is not the man she thinks he is, and he too has a past heâÇÖd prefer to keep buried. Will the unravelling of their secrets lead to mutual destruction or salvation?Scars with Sharp Edgesáis a no holds barred exploration of religious culture, the fearsome impact of living with shame, and the transformational life-change that occurs when we set aside prejudice and choose to practise adamant love .
