Scars of the Fawn - Paperback

by Nj Colle (Author)

He made her life a living hell.

Cole had spent the majority of her life, surviving. When she finally escaped the clutches of her abusive husband, following the glimmer of hope promised in the tattered letter from the one person who might be able to help her stay hidden, she fled to a quiet village on the banks of the River Wye, hoping to find the grandfather she never knew. But, she only finds grief - and a conditional inheritance.

If she stays and restores her grandparents' crumbling bookshop to its former glory, she'll receive the money she needs to start her new life. But her path is blocked by the dark and brooding Duke, who had his sights set on the property for years and now he wants her gone.

In the hush of the village, she discovers friendship, belonging, and a slow-burning, sensual romance she wasn't even looking for.

But when her dark past comes back to haunt her and a malevolent villager threatens everything she's built, will the tenuous threads of her new found peace hold, as danger closes in-forcing her to choose between forfeiting her new life and running again, or stand her ground and stake her claim on the life, love and legacy she's fought so hard to earn?

But he promised, he will always find her.
