About this ebook

The Beauty Series has been optioned for film by PASSIONFLIX!

They agreed on three months... but their love ignored all boundaries.

Jack McLachlan has it all—wealth, power, and the title of Australia’s most eligible bachelor. But life at the top comes with its fair share of complications, and Jack has found the perfect solution: carefully arranged, no-strings-attached relationships that last just long enough to keep things fun.

No emotions. No messy breakups. Just three perfect months.

Then Laurelyn Prescott walks into his life.

The gorgeous, fiercely independent American musician is everything Jack didn’t know he was missing. She challenges his rules, breaks down his walls, and turns his world upside down. What starts as a casual arrangement quickly becomes something neither of them expected—something that changes everything.

Jack’s rules were meant to keep his heart safe, but Laurelyn makes him question if some risks are worth taking.

Irresistible and utterly unforgettable, Beauty from Pain is a story about passion, heartbreak, and a love so undeniable, it shatters all the rules.

Ratings and reviews

A well written and interestingly descriptive book, I especially enjoyed the writing style of the author. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was purely because for me I just wanted a little bit more about the lives of the characters other than them being infatuated with one another. But other than that a great easy read!

This book was truly amazing it made me feel emphatic to both main characters,it made me happy and also managed to break my heart. This was honestly the best novel I've read and the end was just unreal💔💔

Simply LOVED it. Jack/Lachlan was wonderful and Laurelton felt real. The sexy and warm scenes were hot but not gratuitous. How can you not care for these character?! Can't wait to read part 2. Hoping and praying Beauty from Surrender is the fulfillment of their story. Wonderful writing💜
