Scorned E-BOOK

Nobody could've known how far they'd go. Not even her.

I wore my thick skin like a shield, thinking her words would bounce off of me. I spent three long years foolishly thinking everything she said hadn't penetrated it. Then, in one night, my carefully constructed armour crumbled around me. I let her daggered words pierce insecurities I didn't even know I had, and I became careless and impulsive. I recklessly tried to gain validation from someone I'd just met, a guy with sandy blonde hair and dimples that could make a woman weak in the knees.

Then, time flashed forward, and I found myself waking in a foreign bed—groggy, naked, and with no memory of how I got there. As I stumbled into the hall, I became fuel for the gossip burning on everyone's tongues. It followed me into a tiny closet where I hid—temporarily protected inside its four walls—until a surly, ruggedly handsome lieutenant known for getting under my skin found me. 

He vowed to find answers. But as he uncovered the missing time, he realized I wasn't only the victim of sexual assault but also an integral part of a homicide investigation, and my high school bully was at the heart of it all.
