Beautiful Pain

Deacon and Novalee live in a world where soulmates share a deep connection. No matter where you are in the world, every bruise scratch and cut you receive will show up on your soulmates body in the same location.

After her mother is killed, 18 year old Novalee's father spirals into a drunken depression and takes his rage out on her. She has no means of escape and is desperate to get away, but with limited options she can't see an end to the torture.

24 year old Deacon runs a successful restaurant and has dreamed of finding his soulmate since he was 6 years old and received his first scratch from her. For the past 9 years he has stewed in anger and frustration as he sees new bruises appear daily. He's had enough and is determined to make her safe. Now all he has to do is find her.
