Under Your Scars (Under Your Scars, #1)

by Ariel N. Anderson

“I don’t want to kill you, angel. I want to keep you all to myself. You’d better take off those rose-colored glasses and accept that the only place you belong is in my black heart.”

“If you’re so concerned about my humanity, Elena, then reach into my soul and find it, because I’m not sure I have any left.”

Can’t remember the last time someone had the balls to shoot me. Respect.

“Do you believe in soulmates?” The corner of his mouth tilts into a smile. “Not until I found you.”

“Ellie, if you don’t think I’m going to spoil you rotten you are sorely mistaken.”

“Diamonds are just the tip of the iceberg. What color do you want your McLaren?”

There isn’t a single part of him that isn’t insanely perfect. It’s so unfair. I don’t even think he realizes just what an amazing partner he is. I don’t know how I got so lucky. I’ve only known him for a few weeks, but at this point, it feels like the life I had before him was a prologue and I’m dying to turn to the next page to start the rest of our fairytale.

“I am painfully, catastrophically in love with you.”

Five scars. Five jagged letters of the alphabet, pink and healing. Five letters that spell my name.

“You’re the Silencer.”

“Your parents died on September 6, 1989, and we met thirty years later, on September 6, 2019. That’s why you said you started believing in soulmates when you met me.”

“Are you nuts? You can’t smoke on a plane!” “You can’t smoke on a commercial plane,” I point out. “This is my plane.

“Christian is the only person on this planet that’s allowed to break me, because he’s the only person on the planet who knows how to put me back together again.”
