Beautiful Terror by Heidi Stark
Her stalker never forgot her.
And now that he’s found her, he has no intention of letting her go.
Desperate for a fresh start, Margaux escapes to the tropical haven of Sunset Cay, determined to rebuild her life. She’s an emerging dark romance author with a manifestation game that’s never failed her—so when she lands a dream writing career and a hot surfer, it feels like fate.
But fate has a dark sense of humor, and dreams can rot from the inside.
Because the man she’s falling for isn’t who he claims to be. Cracks begin to form—some figurative, some terrifyingly real. He’s keeping secrets, and Margaux is about to learn that not all love stories are written for a happy ending.
YOU CAN HIDE YOUR HORNS… BUT THEY’RE STILL THERE.
And the person watching her from the shadows? He’s been there all along, waiting for the right moment to step in. Because Margaux isn’t just living a dark romance—she’s trapped in one.
IN DEX WE TRUST.
Dex has always been protective of Margaux—his best friend’s little sister, the one who always looked at him like she knew he was dangerous. Maybe because he is.
But this isn’t just about possession. It’s about survival. And Dex isn’t some brooding hero—he’s the man standing between Margaux and the darkness closing in on her. If he moves too fast, he’ll push her deeper into the nightmare. If he waits too long, she may not survive it.
And when the truth unravels, when obsession and love become indistinguishable, Margaux will have to decide: Does she want to be saved? Or does she want to burn?
This isn’t your typical smutty dark romance—it’s dark romance meets psychological thriller, where desire is a weapon, attraction turns into obsession, trust is a gamble, and the line between love and control is razor-thin. It’s steamy, twisted, and impossible to put down.
