Scarred

by

Mia Kerick

From bestselling author Mia Kerick comes a New Adult Gay Romance that will keep you up reading all night!

Matthew North waited ten years to heal from the devastating wounds inflicted by the man who abducted and abused him as a child. Living reclusively on a tropical island—with no company but his four cats—he merely avoids the lingering pain.

Wearing twisted ropes of mutilated skin on his back, Matt struggles with a profound hindrance—the scars that deaden his soul. However, on the night he meets lively Vedie Wilson, a local restaurant busboy who expresses his gender by wearing lipgloss and eyeliner along with his three-day beard, things change.

Gradually, Vedie and Mateo unite in friendship. Through a series of awkward encounters, the pair learns each other’s secrets. Vedie learns that an angelic face can front for a scarred soul. Matthew learns that the line between one’s masculine and feminine sides is blurred. Can they embrace the painful stories behind each other’s scars if they’re to find everlasting love? Or will surrendered love come to be yet another blemish on their souls?

Excerpt

Vedie

I wake up in the morning alone on Mateo’s bed. Ain’t gonna lie; I halfway expected this. So I search the floor for my pink nighty, and when I find it, pull it over my head. Ain’t gonna face the music naked, that’s for sure. Not so sure I wanna face it in a pink nighty.

Mateo ain’t in the living room or in the kitchen. He’s pumping iron out on the porch. He don’t seem to notice me standing in the doorway until I clear my throat loud and he finally glances over.

“Morning, Vedie.” He smiles, but it ain’t warm. “I hope you slept well.”

“Slept good, but woke up alone.”

He bends and drops the weight he’s holding so that it bounces on the padded wooden floor. “Sorry about that. I’m not much for sleeping in.”

“It’s barely eight. Ain’t exactly what I’d call sleepin’ in.”

The man don’t bend to pick up another dumbbell and he don’t explain nothin’.

Instead, he tilts his head, and asks, “Are you okay this morning,?”

No, Mateo, I ain’t okay. I’m scared of gettin’ the big heave-ho ‘cause you can’t handle being involved with somebody like me. I’m scared of Joey’s revenge. I’m scared shitless that Tyrone and Marcus and Juan are gonna find out where I’m at and come down here to “knock the bitch outta me.”

“Course I’m okay. ‘Cept I’m starvin’.”

“Then let’s eat.”

About Mia

Mia Kerick author picMia Kerick is the mother of four exceptional children—one in law school, another in dance school, a third in school at Mia’s alma mater, Boston College, and her lone son still in high school. (Mia is a major fan of the learning process!) She writes LGBTQ romance when not editing National Honor Society essays, offering opinions on college and law school applications, helping to create dance bios, and reviewing English papers. Her husband of twenty-three years has been told by many that he has the patience of Job, but don’t ask Mia about this, as it is a sensitive subject.

Mia focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young people and their relationships. She has a great affinity for the tortured hero. There is, at minimum, one of these in each book. As a teen, Mia filled spiral-bound notebooks with tales of said tortured heroes (most of whom happened to strongly resemble lead vocalists of 1980s big-hair bands) and stuffed them under her mattress for safekeeping. She is thankful to CoolDudes Publishing, Dreamspinner Press, Harmony Ink Press, and Evernight Publishing for providing her with alternate places to stash her stories.

 A social liberal, Mia cheers for each and every victory made in the name of human rights. Her only major regret: never having taken typing or computer class in school, destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.

  1. Nothing really significant, only small scars from cuts or burns – mostly on my hands from cooking. Most recently a suture scar on my ring finger from last spring when I had to get stitches when I dropped a hella heavy TV on my hand. And stretch marks on my abdomen from pregnancy.

    1. I only have a couple of physical scars, too. Appendicitis scar from when I was in fifth grade and a little bubble-scar on my arm from a rusty nail. For, Matt and Vedie, the internal scars are much worse!

  2. Congratulations on your new book! I have several scars. One scar is on my knee where I punctured it on a rock while roller skating outside. Others came from surgeries.
