His Wounded Bird

Anotação

Susan Myers, Suzi, was born with a red birthmark that paints one side of her face and body like a scarlet brand. To her father Rodrigo, she is a curse, something monstrous he never deserved. To the world, she is invisible, kept hidden behind locked doors while her beautiful sister, Elizabeth, is paraded like a prize. To clear his debt to Antonio Costello, Rodrigo arranges a marriage between Elizabeth and Antonio’s son, Maxwell Costello. But when Max mistakes Suzi with Elizabeth, her entire world changes. Even after learning she is not the daughter he was promised, Max insists on marrying her. No bargaining. No pity. Just a quiet, steady certainty that leaves Suzi shaken. She doesn’t understand it. Why would Max choose her, marked and hidden as she is? Max sees what others don’t, and Suzi is about to find out what happens when a girl the world calls unworthy is finally seen by someone who refuses to look away.
