About Beautiful Ruin
My life looked like a modern-day fairytale. The small-town boy rises from the dredges of poverty to the heights of stardom. I was born with the looks and the voice and I worked hard for everything else. I was used to women throwing themselves at me and I didn’t apologize for being the love-’em-and-leave-’em type. No one ever got close enough to see ruins behind the public façade until tragedy forced me back to that small town and the demons I’d buried there.
I was in town to heal and get back to my rock-star life ASAP. But Harlow, my best friend’s daughter, who was too young and too good for me, ignited a part of me I’d given up for dead. The girl with the broken soul who was too filled with pain to be fooled by the glitz and glamour stripped me of my clothes and my lies. But then, why did she look at the ruined man I truly was like I was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen?

Learn More About The Author
Raven Gray writes romance books about curvy women and the hot men who love them. She hates sappy romance books and movies, and even as a romance author, she'd rather watch paint dry than watch most romantic comedies, and yet, she considers herself to be quite the romantic at heart.
She likes romance stories that are not easily boxed in or labeled and though they may follow the traditional norms of boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love and live happily ever after, she likes characters who are far from traditional. Give her your freaks and weirdos, the people and stories that are so messed up it's a miracle they find the path to love. Those are the best stories. She loves reading and writing about deeply flawed, dark, and messed-up characters while firmly holding on to her nice-girl card.
She loves the juxtaposition of the dark and light, the sweet and innocent facade hiding the ruin beneath. She loves exploring the ruins because going from there to a beautiful love story is where the magic lies.
She has a series of beautiful messed-up men and the curvy and broken beauties they fall in love with. She likes playing in that dark place and then coming back to a world that's very different.
So far all of her novellas have featured men with dark secrets. The ones to come will take it to a whole new shade of black. Whether interracial, paranormal, dark romance, or tearjerker, her stories will always feature a beautiful curvy woman and the bad boy she just can't resist.
