Scars Forget Us by Greta Rose West

From internationally bestselling small-town western romance author, Greta Rose West, Scars Forget Us is a story of redemption, of second and third chances, and of a love that perseveres in the face of adversity.

Dixon Lee doesn’t think he deserves a comeback, but he wants one desperately. He’s done things in his life he can’t excuse, things he doesn’t have hope he’ll ever be forgiven for. Leaving his family when they needed him most should probably earn him a one-way ticket to Hell.

The scars he wears won’t let him forget his mistakes, but he has to try.

His purpose after a long, self-imposed exile is to make things right with the only person who matters: his five-year old son. The shame he’s felt, the blurry picture he carries in his wallet, and the torn piece of Stuart’s baby blanket in his front pocket tried to break his resolve to stay clean, but the memory of a girl he used to know, laughing in a western meadow, played in his head every day, and the echo of her voice has gotten him through countless sleepless nights.

When Dixon hitchhikes back into Wisper, Wyoming, planning to finally face his past, the last person he expects to run into is his memory girl.

Avery Jane Harlowe’s not just a small-town girl.

She’s a woman, and her only dream has always been to run the floral shop her gran started when Avery was a baby. She let a man get in her way once, and her heart barely survived. She won’t give it away so easily again, but when Dixon shows up back in town and she gets the urge to love him like she did when they were kids, she refuses to be that naïve girl this time around.

Dixon’s certainly not little anymore, and as much as he tries to make her believe he’s irredeemable, Avery knows it’s not true. He’s beautiful and strong and desperately broken but learning how to love himself. She wants to risk it, to help him see himself the way she sees him, but Dixon has heartbreak written all over his back, even has it tattooed there.

Falling in love with Dixon Lee would be a messy complication, and it would set her world on fire, but something tells her the burn might just be the very thing she needs.
