The scarlet scars
A woman's worth isn’t measured by her past, but in a world where secrets are currency, hers could cost her life.
Plot Summary:
Elara Sinclair is no saint. She has lived a life on her own terms, making choices that the world often deems "unforgivable" for a woman. But she’s never let judgment break her—until one wrong encounter changes everything.
After a passionate night with a mysterious and dangerously charming stranger, Elara wakes up to find herself framed for a murder she didn’t commit. The man she thought was just a fleeting pleasure is gone, leaving behind only his name—Cain Mercer.
As the city whispers about her “sins,” painting her as reckless, broken, and easy to discard, Elara fights to prove her innocence. But in the shadows, there’s a deeper game at play. Someone wants to see her suffer, to make her past the weapon that destroys her future. And the only man who can help her—the very man who vanished after that night—holds more secrets than she ever could.
Between seduction and survival, between power and vulnerability, Elara must decide: Will she let the world define her, or will she take control of the narrative?
But in a world where desire is dangerous and love can be lethal, some choices come with a deadly price.
