THE NOVELS OF HOLDEN RHOADES
BEAUTIFULLY RUINED
Some lives do not break all at once.
They change one choice, one mistake, one love, and one loss at a time.
Beautifully Ruined follows people who are complicated, imperfect, and still becoming who they are. These are stories about identity, desire, love, survival, and what happens when the life you built no longer fits the person you have become.
One life. Five books. Every choice leaves something behind.
Beautifully Ruined follows Claire through five books as ambition, love, desire, success, loss, and the choices she makes reshape the life she thought she wanted. Each novel carries her farther into the world she creates and closer to the question at the heart of the series: who is Claire when everything else is stripped away?
BOOK ONE
When Everything Breaks
Available Now
Claire came to Los Angeles chasing a dream and trying to escape the life she left behind. What she finds is a new identity, a new world, and choices that begin changing everything she thought she knew about herself.
BOOK TWO
When Everything Is Exposed
Coming Next
Claire built a life the world thinks it understands. In Book Two, the boundaries between Claire and Madison Storm begin to collapse as love, ambition, fame, and the consequences of everything she has chosen become impossible to keep separate.
Claire's story continues across five novels.
Books Three, Four, and Five are in development.
