Hideous Beauty Jan Moore

Publisher Marketing: Donna Rogers was born with a facial deformity that left her an outcast. Socially rejected and constantly harassed and bullied by others, she withdrew into her own little world where she dreamed of being beautiful just like her favorite movie star, Cher. But then on a very dark, very lonely night, the people in Donna's head began speaking to her. They had probably been speaking to her for years, but only in the heavy stillness between midnight and forever could she hear them. Their voices weren't very loud; such was the nature of ghosts. She tried to ignore them at first, fearful the din of whispers would drive her mad. But eventually a night came that lasted forever, and try as she might she could not shut the voices of her victims out. So she listened, trying to make sense of the chaos of lives being lived within her brain. But by then all of them were slowly driving her mad. And the only way she could silence them was to wear their skin. Bounty Hunter Ray Stryker knew all about inner demons, and knew how to find them, seek them out, and destroy them at the source. But this case was different; how could he find a cunning, chameleon-like killer who could look like anyone? Ray must now race the clock to find this elusive killer before the only pure being in his life suffered and faded; his new lover, Liz. Donna has her eye on Liz now, and it seems like there isn't any place safe enough for her to hide. And it seemed like every lover Ray had eventually died...
