Leonore Graves is most comfortable with the dead. As a skilled mortician with a dangerous side business, she repairs the damage left by the city's criminal underworld, alters the stories that reach official records, and makes sure secrets stay buried with the bodies.
There is only one organization she has always refused to work for: the Vescari syndicate, the most feared criminal family in the city.
Then Silas Vescari appears in her morgue.
Controlled, calculating, and accustomed to obedience, Silas is immediately intrigued by the woman who refuses to fear him. Leonore has spent her life surviving powerful men and has no intention of becoming another possession in someone else's empire. But Silas keeps returning, and the deeper their worlds collide, the harder it becomes to separate attraction from danger, loyalty from control, and desire from the violence gathering around them.
Beautiful Things Obey is a dark organized-crime romance told through the alternating perspectives of Leonore and Silas, where power, obsession, survival, and intimacy collide.
