Uncovering hidden secrets can sometimes kill you...or worse, steal your soul.

Anastasia Tate has a secret. She can feel the emotions of others through their life energy auras. Not a welcome gift for a teenager. Especially when a sinister presence begins stalking her. 

Viktor Castle also has a secret. He’s tasked with protecting humanity, yet cursed by an ancient evil to destroy it. After Viktor saves Ana’s life, her abilities grow stronger. 

Drawn together, she senses Viktor has answers to lifelong questions. Only, he shuns her at every turn, knowing he has saved her only to put her in more danger. As Ana struggles with her attraction to Viktor, he tries everything to bury his unexpected feelings for her. 

But they must find a middle ground. For, only together can they combat the dark forces threatening both their lives...and their souls.

Praise for the book:

"Marked Beauty was a fabulous read. It’s a YA contemporary fantasy with tons of exciting and dangerous otherworldly happenings, romance, and a large cast of varied and interesting characters. Ana, the main character, can feel the emotions of others through their life energy auras. This gift is not only powerful, but it’s overwhelmingly difficult for her to live with. Her situation becomes even more difficult after the mysterious Viktor saves her life. As they are drawn together romantically, powerful forces threaten to destroy not only their relationship, but the lives of their friends and the world as they know it. Simply put, Marked Beauty is beautifully written and compulsively readable. Perfect for readers who love YA fantasy and paranormal romance." (Pat Esden, author of the Dark Heart series)
