Sweetly Scandalous — Jacqueline Winters

Her scars run deep. He's determined to put his past behind him. Their secrets could jeopardize any chance at happiness.

Romance novel enthusiast Allie Jordan has a closet secretly stacked full of steamy bodice-rippers and a past relationship gone wrong.

Her vicious ex, Travis, demeaned her love of her favorite books, leaving Allie to seriously doubt the existence of happily ever afters beyond their fictional pages. One unfortunate night, Allie falls victim to his rage. Years later, with Travis behind bars, the scars he's left behind still haunt her. Only through her anonymous -- but quite popular -- blog does Allie share her excitement of sexy heroes and stubborn heroines.

When Doctor Nick Bryant arrives in Willow Creek looking like he might've jumped right from the pages of one of Allie's lusty books, she can't seem to stay away. And with Nick's past, she probably should.

With Nick harboring secrets of his own and Travis nearing parole eligibility, will Allie take a chance on her own happily ever after, or will her past prove that not all scars heal?
