About the Book
Love believes in second chances.
Francis Heller lives with two truths. Love hurts and beauty is only skin deep.
With midnight black hair, moss-colored eyes, and traceable curves, Fran is the picture of beauty and confidence...on the outside. But deep down she is tormented. Not just by the jagged scars that line her body, but by the horrible memories that cloud her mind and haunt her dreams. The ones that make her want to flee from herself and from the devastating pain. The ones that cause her to placate herself with sex. Anything to make her forget. But for Fran, there's nowhere to hide from the darkness that swallows her whole.
Matt Dixon is the gorgeous brother of her best friend's fiancie. He's suffered losses of his own and isn't willing to let anyone in until his unexpected encounter with Fran Heller, the girl who challenges him and causes him to take a second look, not only at her, but at his own life.
But Matt has scars of his own.
Together can they help each other discover that second chances really do exist? That love doesn't have to hurt? Or has the damage they've both suffered cut too deep to ever heal?

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "This story will rip your heart out then mend it. It's a wonderful love story and well written. Read it !" - Ally Morris
- "[...] This is one of the best books I've read...ever. And I read A LOT. I absolutely loved it. The story is beautiful. The characters you'll fall in love with. I hated that it ended. I wish there would be another book to continue the love story between Matt and Fran." - PH1 (Amazon)
- "[...] I cried, my stomach bottomed out at the romance, and I smiled the whole way through!! Nods to another favorite book and author of mine being mentioned in the story, as well as childhood heroes!! This was greatly appreciated!! And what a perfect title! This one will stick with me for a long, long time!" - Erika Gutermuth
- "[...] Matt, so set in his ways and his need for perfection, falls hard for Fran. Fran, a loud, slightly obnoxious wild girl who is flawed both inside and out falls just as easily for tight-ass Matt. Their story is sexy and fun, heartwarming, and devastating all at once. And it's absolutely beautiful.
I enjoyed every last line of this wonderfully written love story of healing, forgiveness, and finding your other half." - Cheryl (Amazon)
