Beautiful Things With Sharp Edges Collection
Some stories feel like there is something, just on the edge of what is in front of you, a hidden motive, gray areas, things that aren’t what they appear to be. They give the feeling that there is beauty, that happens along with the sharp edges.
The same is true of certain stories.
Corrupt is one of those stories. Filled with characters that reveal different things about themselves and their relationships to each other, what drives them, depending on how closely you look at them.
These are the pieces that belong beside those kinds of stories.
Featured Book
Corrupt by Penelope Douglas
Desire and revenge may be the easiest things to see, but beneath them are transformation, vulnerability, and the jagged pieces people carry long after they have been hurt.
Add this one to your shelves through Amazon or Books-A-Million.

A tea that has a lingering presence, beautiful and fragrant, making it a slightly unsettling temptation.

Corrupt reminds us that first impressions rarely tell the whole story. The closer we look, the more we discover the motivations, wounds, and desires shaping every choice. Beauty and darkness often exist side by side, and understanding either requires seeing the whole picture.
Some stories stay with us because they show that beauty can have sharp edges, and that the things we fear, desire, or misunderstand are rarely as simple as they first appear.
This Beauty with Sharp Edges collection is inspired by Corrupt by Penelope Douglas.
