Publisher Description

Life isn't always just good and evil, like stories depict. For Isabelle Dupont, scarred and timid, fiction is her only escape. After living a sheltered life, hidden from society, she's thrown into a world only found in her books—the mafia. Dragged in with a lie and trapped by the capo, Isabelle learns there's more to her life than what she was led to believe.

 

Rafael Corsetti finds himself wanting to protect the woman with strange scars and an even stranger history. She could be the key to ensuring his family's safety and finding their enemy. Even as facts unfold and Isabelle's hatred for him grows, Rafael wants her for himself. In the end, beauty doesn't always want the beast.

 

The Beauty in Scars is a mafia romance with content some readers may find triggering.

The Beauty in Scars Reviews

4.5
“❤️Intriguing storyline”
“Rafael was my favorite since book one so I was glad to finally read his story. When finding out one of their most loyal solders lied about having a daughter and his dying breath was for the Corsetti family to protect her- Raf keeps his word and then some when he meets Isabelle. Their spice has been the hottest thus far; being out in public and having an audience! I loved the little touches of beauty and the beast and having Isabelle be a smut reader! and her love for books We also got a lot more information regarding the De Falco plot line which I’m really intrigued by. Excited that there’s a whole series surrounded this story line as well! I’ll be binging the rest of the series now :)”
