Pretty When She Cries (Teacher x Student) Nathaniel Tames was a man drowning in his own loneliness and succumbing to the darkness inside of himself . . . until he met her. She was beautiful, exquisite, and as close to perfect as any one woman could get. She was like an angel sent to save him from himself. Only Emelda Linette has demons of her own to fight and scars of past pains branded forever in her sad blue eyes. When these two meet by chance, there's an instant attraction on Nathaniel's part, and he's not willing to let anything stand in the way of the future happiness he knows they could have: not the vast age difference, not the fact Emelda is more than reluctant to form any sort of relationship, and not even the newly discovered fact that he is her teacher. With each passing day, Nathaniel has become more eager to hold her in his arms, and will use any tactics necessary. Can one girl battle the darkness inside a man who has long since lost sight of himself, or will the darkness and the sorrow swallow them both whole? ___________________ This is a darker story with adult themes, so please read with caution.
