Book Spotlight: Scarred by Joanne Macgregor
Trying to reboot her life after a serious auto accident, she starts her senior year at a new school and immediately has a scar-to-face encounter with the caramel-haired, hazel-eyed Luke Naughton, whom she once (almost) met on the competitive swimming circuit. Sloane is attracted. Luke, unfortunately, seems disgusted and revolted. But the chemistry between them sparks a growing connection set against a background of guilt, secrets, and mounting tensions at a school where bullying is rife and Sloane is not the most deeply scarred person.
Life leaves you scarred, love can make you beautiful.

What others are saying about Scarred
“This book was so full of surprises and definitely packs so much drama within its pages, forgiveness, love, bullying… my mind was in turmoil and my heart was breaking, I connected with these characters, I felt their pain, their guilt you name it, everything this author threw at me I felt it and I love it when an author can make me feel. So this is why Scarred gets my 5 Stars. If you are after something unique with a tough-as-nails heroine look no further than this book, she may have been scarred but her scarring did not define the person she became. Crazy Loved this book.”
(Kitty Katz’s review on Amazon.com)
“The perfect read to get your reluctant teen to open a book - with a mix of romance, emotional angst, bitchy high school girls, ripped bodies in the swimming pool and a heart stopping trauma at the heart of it all. Macgregor writes with depth and skill – and she knows how to keep a teen turning the pages (and an adult!).”

“A beautiful and sensitive story where we follow the journey of Sloane and Luke through loss and grief but also towards forgiveness, acceptance and love.”
(Brenda Moreira’s review on Goodreads)
“Engaging characters and unexpected plot twists make this novel a thoroughly absorbing read. Highly recommended.”
(Monica Kagan’s review on Goodreads)
When not writing books, Joanne Macgregor is a Counselling Psychologist in private practice and deals mainly with victims of crime and trauma. It's tough work and to combat creeping burnout, she started writing fiction several years ago. Now she consults and writes on alternate days, and in completely different head-spaces and physical environments.
She started her professional life as a high school English Teacher, but has also worked as an IT trainer, a theatre dogsbody, and management consultant. Also as a waitress, an in-store frozen vegetable demonstrator and make-up artist.
Although she lives in the frenetic adrenaline-rush of the big city, Joanne has always been in love with nature, and escapes into the wilds whenever she can. She's a pretty good cook, grows vegetables, and is addicted to chilies, bulletproof coffee and Harry Potter.
