Daddy’s little girl, a sweet but deadly contradiction. Storm Summers had spent years pretending to be something else. Only one person had ever truly understood her, a boy who had looked beyond her icy exterior and unearthed what lay beneath. Together, they indulged themselves, a guilty pleasure enjoyed outside of the realms of reality. But it was never meant to be. When Reed Prescott left, he took what remained of her conflicting desires with him.

Storm had spent the last few years carving out a different life for herself, one where she was appreciated for her brains as well as her looks and social status. She would no longer lose herself in the arms of no future. Storm’s engagement to a powerhouse of Newport’s elite society would give her respect, security and everything else she wanted in life. At least that’s what she thought, until he came back.

Reed Prescott left behind more than a bruised heart and battered ego when he set off on a journey of self-discovery. The tragedy of his past used to be the sole reason for Reed’s determination to claw himself from the darkness of the gutter and out into the light. Until her: Storm Summers, the one woman who had made everything worth fighting for.

Years of hard work had resulted in Reed earning his position as a starting quarterback for the NFL. A confident, strong leader of his team who played hard both on and off the field: a man who almost had the world at his fingertips—almost.

The news of his old flame’s engagement is a game-changer. Filthy rich, arrogant and still hotter than sin. The prodigal Sawyer is back.

What happens when your past comes back to taunt you? Do you play it safe, or fight for what you want and embrace the possibility that second chances do exist?

Either way, there is a storm coming…

Beautiful Ugly can be read as a stand-alone story, but is better read in series order.
