Synopsis

Scars. We all carry them. Some are mere scratches. Others run deeper.

At a school rife with bullying, Will and his best friend Luke are involved in a horrific incident that results in Luke leaving.

Twenty-five years later their paths cross again and memories of Will's painful childhood come flooding back to haunt him. His wife, Harmony, who is struggling after a miscarriage that has hit her hard, wishes Will would open up about his experiences. But while Will withdraws further, she finds herself drawn to the charismatic stranger from her husband s past, and soon all three are caught in a tangled web of guilt, desire, betrayal and revenge.

About this title

Review:

'The emotional core of the couple had me racing through it, praying things turned out well for them.' -Edward Ian Kendrick

"I couldn't put it down... an absolute stonker of a read and I was left feeling gob smacked!" -Lou Graham

"It s completely gripping and will have you enthralled until the last page." -Becca Allen via Goodreads

"The Judas Scar is a beautifully crafted tale, which is emotional, dark and so very compelling that you will struggle to put it down until you, like Harmony, have learned the truth." -Amanda Keats, Novelicious

"Above all this story highlights how events in our childhood if not dealt with follow us into adulthood and can have a huge impact upon the adults we become." -Dawn Crooks, Crooks on Books
