She’s too smart, too pretty and too good for a thug like me. Caro Archer loved me once then left me in the wreckage. Now she’s back with danger on her heels and my heart in her hands. Her safety should be my top priority. Only Caro has other plans. She wants to give us a second chance. The part of me that aches for more wants to give in. But I’m the same man she turned her back on all those years ago—the same brute she left in the dust. What makes her think things will be different this time? Especially when it’s more than my heart on the line? Second chances don’t come easy for a man like me. This time, I might not survive. Kit can be read as a standalone and is book 2 in the Scarred Hearts series about brooding, vigilante-type heroes. Novels in this series include interconnected characters but each story can be read on its own and has an HEA. Reading them in order is not crucial but recommended.
