" Siobhan Davis, USA Today & WSJ bestselling author ★★★★★. A secret billionaire and the unbreakable girl he refuses to let go. Collateral is usually an object. A thing—a car, a house, or expensive jewelry. But in my world, that object is me. My guardian owes a lot of money to his dealer, and now they've come for me. On the run with only a few dollars in my pocket, I have no place to live until I meet a stranger—sexy, rich, and more intent on saving me than protecting his fancy car or home. A billionaire like Holden Alastair doesn't belong with a girl from the other side of the tracks. I'm not capable of love or anything but running until fate intervenes. But with a broken leg and nowhere to go, I'm forced to accept his help, to live with a man I hardly know. One who has dark secrets. I'm suddenly immersed in a world more dangerous than the one I left, swept up in Holden's big heart and hidden life—lies, betrayal, and threats behind every corner. Now, I'm on edge, looking over my shoulder, biding my time to see who comes for me first. I think I'm ready, but nothing could prepare me for the twisted games that I'm about to play. Follow River into Holden's world of power, wealth, and lies. Beautifully Damaged is a secret billionaire/forced proximity college romance featuring a dominant, wealthy jock and the feisty heroine who brings him to his knees.
