Undercover New York City police detective Lacey Burke grew up in the foster care system, bouncing from house to house without ever finding a permanent home. Perhaps that’s why she’s dating Tyler Hathaway. He may be a pompous Wall Street overachiever, but he’s wealthy and good looking, and he can offer her the exotic travel and glamorous experiences she craves.
Recently, however, Lacey has begun to suspect that financial security may not be enough. She realizes she’s fallen in love with her good friend and work partner, Jason Reed. Jason’s a shameless womanizer, however, and Lacey doesn’t want to be just another conquest. Besides, ever since she spotted a mysterious person on the subway, she’s had something far more disturbing on her mind.
He wasn’t particularly distinctive or attractive, but right after Lacey saw him, the nightmares began. Somewhere in Lacey’s subconscious, a memory struggles to emerge from beneath the scars of trauma and pain—a memory tied to a fellow subway passenger Lacey would normally have forgotten immediately.
A fast-moving tale of suspense, repressed memories, and romantic tension, Beneath the Scars follows Lacey as she works both undercover and under the covers.
