In a shameless effort to sway votes, I believe Beautiful Disaster should be our next read for the reasons listed below:

1 - It is a perfect fit tone-wise for NNC. Obviously it's a novel and no doubt it's naughty lol 😜

2 - Who doesn't love a bad boy willing to make a scandalous bet? 😏

3 - It's been on my TBR for years. 😭

Please consider these reasons when you cast your vote 😆
