Beautiful Things Don't Cry
Stacie Leann
She doesn't know which danger to run from. She only knows which one her body runs toward.
Camille Blackwood is brilliant, composed, and impossible to intimidate. Those qualities once made her a target.
When a professor's obsession turns violent, Camille transfers universities to protect herself and the people she loves. A new campus is supposed to mean distance. Control. Safety.
Instead, she meets him.
A man who doesn't fit into anything she understands. Magnetic. Controlled. Unreadable. His presence unsettles her, yet her body betrays her every time he gets too close. One moment, he feels like protection. The next, like something far more dangerous.
Every interaction pulls her deeper. Every touch blurs the line between safety and threat. And the man she escaped hasn't stopped watching.
As gifts begin to appear and shadows linger just a little too long, Camille realizes she was never choosing between safety and danger.
She's caught between two obsessions.
One that tried to destroy her.
And one that might consume her completely.
If she steps into the darkness calling her name, there will be no way back.
Because beautiful things aren't meant to be owned.
And some men don't care what breaks when they try.
Beautiful Things Don't Cry is a dark psychological romance featuring obsession, danger, power dynamics, and morally gray love. This standalone novel contains mature themes and is intended for adult readers.
