(Beautiful #4)
Publication date: April 3rd 2014
Genres: New Adult, Romance
Synopsis:
***CONTENT WARNING*** New Adult Romance for ages 18+ due to sex scenes and adult situations.
After the video of his public outburst catapulted him to superstardom, Marcus now has everything he ever wanted.
Or so he thought. Be careful what you wish for, his mother always told him…
After spending two years touring the globe, he’s growing tired, and that endless line of women has become a sea of blurry and meaningless faces.
When he returns home and receives a visit from Naomi, his previous object of affection, he finally starts to look at himself and what he’s become. He doesn’t like it.
Something has to change…
On the surface, Lisa is a pretty simple girl. She goes to work, spends time with her friends, and adores her dog, Perry. She loves the quiet life and isn’t interested in the bright lights of Marcus’s world. So when he takes an interest in her, she makes it very clear that she doesn’t want what he’s offering. You see, Lisa has secrets, and being seen with Marcus will be the key to her undoing.
Being a man used to getting what he wants, Marcus won’t be taking no for an answer. For the first time, he has met someone who he feels a definite connection with, and he won’t be taking no for an answer – even if it means inadvertently ruining everything Lisa has worked so hard to conceal…
Will Marcus and Lisa find a way to deal with her secrets and be together? Or will she push him away, ensuring Marcus is destined to always have his affections unreturned?

Marcus
I’m
a rock star…
I
remember that being this great idea that meant all of my dreams would
become a reality. I could click my fingers, and anything I want would
appear in front of me. Being obscenely famous is as close to magic as
you can get.
The
problem is, it’s lonely as fuck.
I’ve
just spent two years travelling both Australia and the world, singing
to audiences in every country imaginable. I’ve fucked more girls
than I can possibly count. Done everything I’ve ever wanted to do,
and a whole bunch of shit I didn’t even know existed.
I
basked in the adoration of my fans. Let all of my values just slip
away until I was the quintessential famous dickwad that I am today.
Now,
I’m not even sure I’m ok with looking at myself in the mirror.
I
used to have friends. I used to have family. I even thought I was in
love once… Now, all I have are hangers on, and staff who are paid
to nod their heads and make sure I’m happy.
But
I’m not. I’m not happy at all.
I
think back to where all this started, to that fucking video when I
threw a tantrum on stage because I wanted the girl my brother had. I
thought I loved her. At the time, I really did. But now I know it
wasn’t love. Love is something I’ve never experienced in my whole
over the top, gregarious life. Hell, I don’t even love myself. I’m
sick of seeing my face plastered around. I’m sick of hearing my
name chanted out loud. I’m sick of my own voice.
I
need a break, and now that I'm finally back home where I started, I’m
hoping that it won’t be long before I get that. Maybe I’ll
pretend to be a normal person for a while. It’s amazing how many
people believe me when I deny being me…
