About Beautiful Monster
Noah Bova
The small island of Sorrow Bay, South Carolina has always lived up to its name and I couldn’t wait to leave it and my tragic upbringing. With an abusive father casting a long shadow over my life, I sought solace one night by the lake, where I unexpectedly meet Tessa Claremont.
Tessa is everything I never knew I needed—quiet and shy, she’s still unafraid to push me into the darkness guarding my soul. Swept up in our unexpected summer romance, I crave more from Tessa than I’m willing to admit. But when Tessa leaves town and doesn’t respond to my scribbled request for more, I move on.
Seven years later, Tessa returns to Sorrow Bay. I’m drawn to Tessa’s vulnerability, even as I struggle with my own demons and the brutal demands of my criminal life in the Russian mafia. I’m faced with a choice: become the man she needs, or lose Tessa forever.
Tessa Claremont
I return to Sorrow Bay, a small town shrouded in secrets, with a few secrets of my own. After six harrowing years in captivity, I’ve come back to confront my past, which means confronting Noah, though nothing could’ve prepared me to reconcile the boy I’d clung to during my time in Hell, with the man Noah has become.
Noah is no longer the tortured but gentle soul I remember; his world is one of darkness, violence, and unforgiving loyalty and I’ve had enough cruelty to last several lifetimes. Yet, fate intertwines our paths once more, igniting a dangerous game of desire, hope, and redemption.
As we navigate a treacherous dance of longing and restraint, Noah and I must confront the undeniable chemistry that threatens to consume us. But secrets and scars run deep, and trust is a luxury life has taught us we can’t afford. We must confront our pasts to find the courage to embrace a future together—or accept that some love stories are meant to remain unfinished.
