BEAUTIFUL by Ella Bordeaux
Release Date: June 7, 2016
Genre: YA
SYNOPSIS:
Skylar Woods unknowingly drew Wyatt Smith toward her. He wanted … needed to learn everything about
her. Though he sensed her beauty was more than just skin deep, Wyatt struggled
to understand the sadness she attempted to mask with an amazing smile.
When Skylar’s eyes met Wyatt’s for the first time, her
breath caught and she couldn’t look away from the new guy standing in the
school office smiling at her. The connection only grew when Wyatt sat next to
her in English class, allowing Skylar to dare to believe he might actually be
interested in getting to know her.
For the first time in months, she felt alive.
The moment Wyatt expressed an interest, the notes started again
… the ones that reminded her of a past she could never move beyond—the event
that changed her life forever and robbed her of any chance of happiness.
Never believing the rumors being spread around school about
Skylar, Wyatt made sure he went out of his way to prove how much he cared about
her.
But when the past resurfaces, will Wyatt stand by her side?
Or will he turn against her like everyone else?

EXCERPT 1
The moment I saw him
walk into my English class, I had to catch my breath. That was twice now that
I’d seen him. He was breathtakingly handsome. His dark hair made his eyes pop
all the way from across the room. All of the girls immediately started
whispering, praying he would notice one of them.
I sat in the back
right corner, as far away from everyone as I could. There was no chance of him seeing
me.
Then, our eyes met.
I instantly felt my cheeks blush, like earlier when he’d smiled at me in the
office. I wasn’t so sure if he was looking my way or not now.
Is he smiling at Jenny or at me?
Jenny was a
beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed cheerleader. She could pretty much just look
at a guy, and he would fall for her.
Mrs. Hathaway
grinned at him and then told him to pick a seat. He turned and looked directly
at me again. My heart started pounding so loud that I was sure everyone in the
classroom could hear it.
“I heard he moved
here from New Mexico. He wanted to play football for a Texas high school, so a
college would notice him,” Jenny said as she started to mess with her hair.
“What’s his name?”
Beth asked.
Jenny shrugged her
shoulders. “Who cares? Look at that body. My God, they make them good in New
Mexico.” She jumped up and moved over a seat right before he got to her table.
For some reason, my
heart was breaking. How stupid of me to
think he would notice me. Even if he did, everyone would tell him to stay away
from me.
He passed by Jenny’s
table, walked right up to mine, and smiled.
Oh. My. God.
“Hey, I’m Wyatt.
Mind if I sit here with you?” he asked.
That drop-dead gorgeous
smile melted my heart.
I smiled. “No, not
at all. It’s open.”
He sat down, and I
glanced over toward Jenny and her posse. If looks could kill, I’d be on the
floor right now.
