"""Saving Scarlett"" by C.A. Varian weaves a tale of love and redemption, where an unlikely hero emerges from the shadows to rescue the woman he never expected to save.
In the heart of sultry New Orleans, Scarlett Prejean's life, filled with beauty and ambition, is marred by a haunting presence-her abusive husband, Joshua. As the proud owner of a cozy bookstore and a haven of coffee and literature, she seeks solace amid the unrelenting cruelty of her marriage.
But fate takes a dark and unexpected turn when Joshua makes a chilling decision: he hires Bane, an assassin bound by a relentless code, to bring Scarlett's life to a tragic end. What Joshua doesn't foresee is the profound twist that awaits.
When Bane comes face to face with the battered and vulnerable Scarlett, an irrepressible urge to protect her takes hold, defying the very mission he's been given.
Scarlett, carrying the scars of years of torment, finds herself under the care of her would-be executioner.
In the intermingling of Scarlett and Bane's lives, they grapple with an undeniable attraction, their backgrounds clashing in stark contrast. Scarlett wrestles with her feelings for a man marked as a killer, yet she glimpses the gentleness hidden beneath Bane's hardened exterior.
Their love story unfolds amid a backdrop of treacherous secrets and betrayals, guided by the brilliant hacker, Phantom, who unravels the intricate threads binding Scarlett's destiny to the criminal underworld.
Their journey is a tumultuous one, a blend of passion, danger, love, and vengeance. The burning question remains: will Bane and Scarlett discover the love they so desperately crave, or will those who seek their downfall ultimately triumph?
