Do not judge books by it’s cover, everyone knows that saying and beauty is skin deep. This is Matt’s story and how he found the love of his life, Lily.

Matt has been playing the field for a while, since his break up with his ex-fiance Cassandra, he was never the same. He never wanted to trust anyone ever again, but the night he saw Lily for the first time, all his walls broke. Lily was across the bar, sitting by herself looking strong and fragile at the same time. She was beautiful and Matt couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Once he decided to rescue her from men on a prowl, they sat together and talked. The moment they came face to face, Lilly looked him straight in the eye and not his scar, it was over for him. He wanted her so much more. Lily was the first one, in a long time since he got the scar that didn’t look at his scar and judge, she didn’t even mind it at all. She looked at him as a person, not a freak with a scar on his face.

After being stood up by her friend, she calls in another friend to pick her up. Instead of waiting outside alone, Matt offered to wait with her and they ended up in his truck. While waiting things got hot and heavy in the car, before Matt could get her name and number she bolted. He thought he’d never see her again…he was wrong. As Matt and his friend Shane investigate a possible homicide or possible murder, they meet again. As fragile as Lily looked while being questioned, all he wanted to do was protect her and so he did his best to do just that. After that night Matt promised himself never to let her go again without getting his chance with her. So he did everything he could to make that happen. As things progressed and they got to know each other more, but danger was getting closer to Lily. Will Matt save Lily from the murderers? Or will they get to her before they even get a real chance of love? Read and find out.

What I love about this story is how much Lily and Matt cared for each other. Neither one looked at each other’s imperfection as a disability, because it’s not. They saw each other for the person they really are deep inside. Together they made each other whole and gave each other the love and affection each deserved.
