Scar-struck: Part one: Part one (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781763885202)

A heart warming romantic comedy about forbidden love, staying true to yourself, and following your heart.

Charlotte, a lovable barmaid from the small Australian town of Gundagai, lands her dream job in Hollywood as a makeup artist, suddenly thrust into the world of movie industry elites. While her talent for prosthetics, gore, and special effects is undeniable, her unfiltered honesty and down-to-earth Aussie charm don't exactly blend with Hollywood's cutthroat culture.

Determined to keep her head down and prove herself, Charlotte's plans go off-script when she falls for Antonio, a charismatic Spanish-American director. Enchanted by her humour, kindness, and refreshing authenticity, Antonio is drawn to Charlotte's unapologetic wit and warmth.

For Charlotte, who has never truly known the comfort of family, Antonio offers the sense of belonging she's always craved. But he's locked in a vicious battle with his manipulative ex-wife, who will stop at nothing to keep him under her control.

Meanwhile, Charlotte's ruthless boss has made one rule clear: relationships with crew members are strictly forbidden. But the heart rarely follows the rules.

As their love deepens, so do the risks. Will Charlotte and Antonio defy the odds, or will she lose everything-her job, her visa, and her dream-before she even has a chance at happiness?
