I was five the first time my life changed and Mum married Ben, and a better step-dad I never could have asked for. I was eight when it changed again and I found out my family was different, that they weren't human like me. I was thirteen when more change came and I lost my protector, when Nico left and never looked back. I was almost eighteen when it was changed irrevocably, when Ben died. For some unknown reason, Ben's death brought Nico back to me. Only he's not the Nico I remember. He's familiar and foreign all at the same time. And I'm drawn to him even though I'm not supposed to be. We're forbidden, whatever that means, but I've never been privy to the secrets of the lycanthus. But Nico's not the only one who's changed. Neither is he the only one who hears the steady beat of the moon's Wild Heart when we're together.

Until she walks into a leadership orientation and finds him sitting there like the universe has a terrible sense of humour. Rhys Kavanaugh has a reputation for not caring, and he's spent the last year living up to it. What no one knows - what he'll never tell - is that Avery's version of events isn't wrong. It's just not complete. He let her believe it. He had his reasons. He told himself she'd move on. He didn't expect her to transfer here. He definitely didn't expect her to become impossible to forget all over again. Now they're co-captains of a program neither of them chose, bound together for an entire year. The closer they get, the more the story she's been telling herself starts to crack at the edges - and the harder it becomes for Rhys to keep the truth where he buried it.

Beautifully Wrecked is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers New Adult romance featuring a hidden sacrifice, a secret that changes everything, and two people who never stood a chance of staying strangers.
