Scarred by Emily McIntire

This is "Scarred" by Emily McIntire, which is described as "A Never After Novel" and the author is noted as a USA Today bestselling author. From the back cover description, this appears to be a dark romance retelling that reimagines classic fairy tale characters. The story centers around Prince Tristan Faasa, who was never meant to inherit the throne - that was always his brother Michael's destiny. Michael was responsible for both Tristan's difficult childhood and the scar on his face. When their father dies and Michael is set to become king, Tristan leads a secret rebellion to steal the throne. The plot thickens when Michael's betrothed, Lady Sara Beatreaux, arrives. She has her own agenda - to marry the king and eliminate the Faasa bloodline, even at great personal risk. However, she doesn't expect to encounter the dangerous and forbidden Scarred Prince, leading to a complex dynamic where the line between hatred and passion becomes blurred. This is part of the "Never After" series, which also includes books titled "Hooked" and "Wretched" (shown on the back cover). The book is published by Bloom Books and appears to be a contemporary dark romance that puts a twisted spin on familiar fairy tale elements, featuring themes of political intrigue, forbidden romance, and morally complex characters.
