About BEAUTIFUL BOY
One introverted girl.
One extroverted guy.
One assignment.
One afternoon.
Then everything changed…
“You destroyed me.”
Novah wanted nothing more than to walk away, never see him again. She was determined to pick up the pieces of her tarnished reputation and move on. Her torture became her muse, earning her well-deserved notoriety for capturing beauty with her lens. She had come full circle. She had it all…until he returned.
Nolan found himself surrounded by the grim facets of life, no longer the prominent boy from an affluent family who’d caught Novah’s eye. The years had been unkind and left him in the dark, painful trenches of life. He needed her help.
Fifteen years can equate to a lifetime of change, neither one the same person they once were. Despite the humiliation, the latent wounds, the missing years…they’re destined to heal one another in unexpected ways.
“You saved me.”

EXCERPT:
“I need you, Novah.”
I jumped at the sound of someone in the studio. I must’ve been so absorbed in the images in front of me that I didn’t hear anyone come in. I spun my chair around, quickly noticing Nolan standing in front of me. My heart hammered away in my chest, threatening to break through my ribcage and land at my feet.
I gasped, unable to say anything in return, even though I had a million thoughts racing through my head.
Why are you here?
What do you want?
Why do you need me?
But nothing came out. Not a single thing.
“I need you to show me what beauty means,” he continued with a raspy voice, almost as if he didn’t trust his own words to make it to my ears.
“Why?” My own tone was just as shaky, if not more than his.
“Because I don’t believe in it anymore. I don’t see it. It doesn’t exist… unless I’m looking into your eyes. But only when you don’t know it.”
He stepped closer to me, slowly, as if he were a lion and I the timid prey. “Because when you’re looking at me, and I look at you, it’s not there. You know as well as I do it doesn’t exist in me. And I need you to show it to me, if only so you can see it when you look at me.” He stopped less than a foot away. His panting breaths fanned my face. “Please,” he begged like a lost child looking for his mother.
Without conscious thought, my hand reached out to cup his face, his warmth running through my palm, up my arm, and straight to my heart, giving it a reason to beat. “You are exquisite,” I whispered without thought. The words came out all on their own, yet I meant every one of them.
He was, in fact, breathtaking. Whether he believed it or not. No matter how many times I tried to convince myself otherwise, his eyes held a magnificence I had never seen before. It was also what I found most dangerous about him. He had the ability to wipe my thoughts clean of any damage he’d ever caused me.
