Carter

Some scars don’t show. Some never stop bleeding.

Carter
I should be grateful I survived, but gratitude doesn’t stop the nightmares—or how broken I am inside.
Nothing helps. No matter what I do, I can't stop reliving the worst day of my life.
But I want my life back—the one I had before that day.
I lost someone special to me, and I'll never get that back—I'll never feel happiness like that again.
At least, that's what I think until I meet Sebastian.
He's one person who doesn’t treat me like I’m a ticking time bomb—even though he's law enforcement and the last type of person I should trust. He's real and honest and everything I need—but I'm not sure I'm ready for what this all means.
Falling for him feels reckless. Dangerous. Impossible.
And yet, he might be the only thing keeping me from falling apart.
