Book Description:

Tasha may have walked away from her toxic ex, but freedom don't mean healing. In Still Got Scars, the second installment of this raw and gritty urban trilogy, the wounds are fresh, the nights are long, and every step toward peace feels like war. She's trying to rebuild a life of her own, but the streets remember her name—and so does the man she left behind.

Therapy can't fix betrayal. Sex can't replace love. Money don't cover emotional debt. Tasha's starting to realize that the real fight ain't just about getting away—it's about staying gone. Because sometimes, even after the bruises fade, the triggers remain. Her body may be out of the cage, but her spirit still flinches in dark rooms and when certain songs come on. Her smile? That's armor. Her hustle? That's survival.

Tasha starts building something real—business, boundaries, and a better future—but every step forward feels like dragging a suitcase of pain she didn't pack. The same friends who cheered when she left now doubt her glow-up. New lovers don't know how to handle her flashbacks. Her ex? He ain't done either, and he's creeping back in ways more dangerous than ever.

Still Got Scars dives deep into the mental and emotional chaos that comes after the breakup—after the big escape—when the world expects you to be "okay" but you're still bleeding on the inside. This book is bold, vulnerable, and unfiltered, wrapped in street grit and emotional truth.

Because leaving was one thing. But healing? That's the real fight. And Tasha? She's got scars... but she's still standing.
