title: Silk & Scars
author: Eddarro, Alex
description: Emotionally broken, psychologically haunted, and physically scarred, Trenton Jacobs is afraid to love. At 28, the tattooed Las Vegas mechanic has spent his life taking care of his little sister, Olivia, protecting her from all the ugliness in the world. He's worked hard to ensure her happiness and success, even though he struggles to find his own. Bouncing from one distraction to another, never settling long enough to disappoint anyone except himself, he seems destined to end up alone. Trenton's potential has been undermined by the tragic upbringing that taught him to hate the fundamental things that make him who he is.
  Seth Zewinski couldn't be more different. At 40, he is president of his own development company and owns a swanky penthouse, a fleet of fancy cars and a closet full of immaculate designer clothes. Seth is the envy of everyone he meets. But behind those expensive walls he's built around himself, he's lost. The death of his lover and long-time partner took a part of Seth away: the part that kept him breathing, the part that knew how to love.
  When their two worlds collide, chemistry can only take these damaged men so far. What could these two possibly have to offer each other...beyond Silk & Scars?...
