Scarred Hearts
Zeroâs an arrogant, enigmatic, dangerous hacker. He wants to protect me. Pity. Heâs too late. Iâm a lost cause. I narrowly escaped death only to now live on a knifeâs edge, constantly checking the shadows for monsters. And I canât trust him. He knows far too much about me, and I know nothing about him. Even still, this inscrutable stranger burrows his way under my skin and into my heart. With only a look, Zero makes me feel more alive than ever before. And thatâs the problem. I should be dead. Iâm the aftermath of a tragedy. Broken. A victim. But he calls me a survivor. Heâs wrong. Thereâs no way Iâll cheat death twice, not when itâs breathing down my neck.
