Scarred | Never After #2 | 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

He was never meant to wear the crown. But some villains were born to take it.

Prince Tristan Faasa has spent his life in the shadow of his older brother, carrying the scars of a brutal past and a burning desire for revenge.

Now he’s ready to take everything that was denied to him.

Lady Sara Beatreaux arrives at the royal court with secrets of her own. Promised to the king, she has a dangerous agenda — one that could bring an entire kingdom to its knees.

But when Sara crosses paths with the ruthless, dangerously captivating Tristan, hatred becomes temptation, loyalties begin to unravel, and a forbidden attraction threatens everything they’ve planned.

A seductive, twisted reimagining inspired by The Lion King, Scarred is a dark royal romance filled with betrayal, vengeance, morally grey characters, and a villain who might just steal your heart.
