In the frozen heart of Romania, where snow silences even prayer, Evangelina flees the velvet cage of her cruel twin brother, Elias, and the manor that reeks of roses and decay. Her escape leads her into the path of Vladimir-a pale, beautiful creature carved from moonlight and sin, whose every step bleeds crimson roses into the snow. Bound by hunger, vengeance, and forbidden desire, their fates entwine beneath the gaze of a merciless winter. As Vladimir's darkness tempts her with deliverance and damnation alike, Evangelina must decide whether salvation lies in fleeing him or in surrendering completely. A tale of forbidden love and immortal ruin, The Beautiful Man is a symphony of blood, desire, and devotion where even monsters learn to ache, and love itself becomes the most exquisite curse.
