She made me a better man, but I still wasn’t good enough to keep her.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, with sleeve tattoos, ripped muscle and a
cold-hearted stare, I am who I am. The bad boy she knew to stay away
from.
I knew we were never supposed to last. But the way her lips
tasted, the way her curves felt under my hands… I couldn’t let go. I did
everything I could to keep her.
I put on a ring on her finger and straightened out my life. All
for her.
I should’ve known better.
One mistake tore us apart and I don’t know what I can do to salvage
what we once had.
I knew it wasn’t supposed to last, but if I could make her stay with me
once... I can do it again.
Watch me. I love my sweetheart; I’m not losing her again.
Review
5 Stars
Scarred picks up right where Damaged left off and I just wasn't sure how much more hurt my heart could take. I just couldn't get enough though. I had to ride out this emotional journey. This journey that had me sitting at the edge of my seat. This journey that had my heart pounding. This journey that had me so captivated I read it in one sitting. This journey that had my heart yearning for an all consuming love the way Evan and Kat had for each other. More Lies. Betrayal. Deceit. Love......... Willow Winters delivers a phenomenal story and by far the most powerful and all consuming love story I've read all year!!!
GOOD GOSH! I don't even think my words can do this book or this author justice. Evan and Kat's story needs to be read. It needs to be experienced. It needs to be felt. These characters are almost so real it's scary. While the author delivers an exceptional story line, I think it was the characters that really pulled me in. Willow Winters with her talented writing was able to evoke so many emotions from me. I'm not sure how many times I cried but I just felt...... everything! I cried tears of sadness, tears of anger, tears of pure agony and hurt, I cried tears of joy. This book was just absolutely PERFECTION in EVERY way!
Definitely worthy of a re-read and I highly recommend reading Evan and Kat's journey. Willow Winters certainly did not disappoint. The suspense and every little twist and turn was so perfectly planned out. Evan's determination and protectiveness just added to his appeal and made him all the more sexy. I'd look past all the lies and betrayal too if I had a man that loved me half as fiercely as Evan loved Kat. The love this man had for his wife was just so damn beautiful.
I could probably go on and on about this beautiful and emotional love story but at the end of the day it was just fucking BRILLIANT! Pure GENIUS! This is the epitome of how a romantic suspense story should be written. A story that leaves you guessing. A story that has you glued to the pages. A story that has a solid plot. A story that has twist and turns. A story that has amazing characters. And a story that has a love so epic it takes your breath away. Willow Winters delivers and she fucking nailed it!!

Excerpt
Evan
Damn me for what I’ve done,
Hate me for the lie.
Let the web weave and thread,
But don’t let what we have die.
I know it in my blood,
She’s mine to keep and hold.
I’ll stop fighting only once,
When I’m dead and cold.
The piles of dirt are getting larger. The metal shovels
pierce the frozen soil. The sound cuts through my bones, one and then another
and another.
It’s been constant as I stand here, helpless. I’ve never
been colder, the wind and bitter snow beseiging my body, but I still don’t
move.
I can’t take my eyes from the two graves.
The shovels spill the dirt, the piles mounting as my eyes
drift to the tombstones.
The first my father, a man who died before his time. A death
of tragedy.
And then to my wife’s. My love’s. Gone before her time. No
one believes me. He put her there. James killed her.
My eyes pop open wide when I hear Kat whisper, “It’s all
your fault.”
I wake up breathless, my heart pounding and I swear I can
feel Kat’s hot breath on my neck even though I’m alone. My eyes dart around the
room as I slowly lift my body into a sitting position on the bed.
Just a terror. The same as last night.
I’m quick to grab the video monitor for the security system
from the nightstand and flick the button on to bring it to life. I had it
installed after the break-in.
It’s only when I see Kat in our bed, that my heart starts to
calm, and my heated skin seems to succumb to the chill of reality.
She’s okay.
I close my eyes and when I open them, it’s an image of her
rolling over in bed. To my side. My fingers brush the glass where she is. I’ll
be there soon. I’ll be with her and it’ll all be over. I won’t let her down.

Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.
In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!
