Beauty and the Freak - Paperback

by Jackie Bateman (Author)

TWO ABANDONED REBELS. ONE EXPLOSIVE CONNECTION.

When Robbie faces his community after years of hiding in the shadows, he's branded a monster. His condition means that his body is freakishly muscular, a bodybuilder gone wrong, where every shifting tendon pulsates. He wants to find Nurse Nola, the one who understood him when doctors performed the endless research that stripped away his childhood. Instead, he finds streetwise Kat who wants to find Nola for different reasons.

When Kat sticks up for Robbie in the face of her gang's cruel digs, their friendship begins. But when Robbie uses his muscle to rescue her from a violent incident, his blind rage is exposed, and he has the daunting task of earning back her trust. This is the story of improbable love, where the universe unites two fragments of the past to create an extraordinary bond.
