Beneath Your Beautiful (A Tony Stark Fanfiction)

Pepper's twenty one year-old, literary scholar cousin Dale, comes to Malibu to stay with her after deciding to take some time off of school, due to the death of her parents. It isn't long before a reluctant Pepper decides to introduce her cousin to her boss, the witty and undeniably charming, Tony Stark. Although her geekish and shy mannerism doesn't exactly mix with Tony's, Dale is quickly swept up into his charismatic persona. Dale finds that she is unable to pry herself away from Tony, reguardless of the heartbreak that is bound to follow. However, Tony discovers a much darker side to this seemingly average, college student that will change his life. The only question is, will this side of Dale change Tony's life for better, or worse?
