Beautiful Monster

Sara Cate

Book 1 of Beautiful

Nineteen-year-old Sunny Thorn takes a job painting a mural for her wealthy new neighbor, Alexander Caldwell, a thirty-nine-year-old playboy trying to turn his life around. What starts as an innocent arrangement slowly turns into an intense, forbidden attraction neither of them can fight, even though the twenty-year age gap and their painful pasts make the relationship feel impossible. As Sunny tries to escape a chaotic home life and Alex wrestles with his own self-destructive habits, the two become each other's unlikely refuge. It's a slow-burn, emotionally heavy age-gap romance about two wounded people learning to trust love again.
