Beautiful

Before A Beautiful Struggle, Katrina and David's friendship was a bond that couldn't be broken. Starting with that fated moment when David carried Katrina to the emergency room, we travel back through David's memories as he waits to hear if his best friend and the one woman he truly cares for are going to survive.... "I can't lose her. You don't understand how important she is to me," I ramble. I guess I'm in shock because all I can think about is the sight of all that blood over Katrina's beautiful face.

Katrina Mahoney lives in Western Sydney, Australia. She has a very full life attending university to study a law degree and training for triathlons, and now she is working part time as well. She couldn't possibly find time for a relationship, especially after her last one ended so catastrophically. Right now she is content focusing on work, study, and training while hanging out with her best friend, David Taylor, a womanizer with a heart of gold who would do anything for Katrina - except watch her get hurt again.

After being unceremoniously kicked out of home at a young age, Paige is forced to fend for herself. In a bid to survive, she does things that most people would never dream of and stops caring about herself as a result. When the fastest way to get food and shelter is to use her body, and the fastest way to forget is to self-medicate, Paige embarks on a steady downward spiral. Until, finally, she hits rock bottom....

After ruining the best relationship he thought he'd ever had, Elliot's life takes a turn for the worst, and he isn't happy with who he's become. Deciding to spend three months in the UK on a working visa in a bid to find himself again, he boards a plane to London. During the flight he meets Paige, a fellow Aussie with a closed heart and a lot to hide. The closer he gets to Paige, the more he's sure she's hiding something. Will it be enough to send him running? Or does he love her enough to fight this time?

All his life, David has seen Katrina as the one woman he wanted in his life forever, and Katrina has felt the same. So why does she keep putting off their wedding? When they meet Elliot's new wife and family, David can't help but notice that Katrina is acting strangely. The questions is...why? Old insecurities and feelings resurface to threaten their happiness. Will their love be enough overcome them and get them to the altar?

Naomi thought she'd met someone wonderful when Elliot came into her life, but he simply wasn't into her. It's the story of her life. While everyone around her is settling down, she gives up on trying to find her Mr. Right, and turns back to the one thing she has always loved - music. Enter Marcus - he was a year above Naomi at school, and she always had a killer crush on him. He now fronts a band with his older brother Theo. Marcus has the reputation of a playboy, and Theo, well...he's just bad news.

After the video of his public outburst catapulted him to superstardom, Marcus now has everything he ever wanted. Or so he thought. Be careful what you wish for, his mother always told him.... After spending two years touring the globe, he's growing tired, and that endless line of women has become a sea of blurry and meaningless faces. When he returns home and receives a visit from Naomi, his previous object of affection, he finally starts to look at himself and what he's become. He doesn't like it.

Theo and Naomi want nothing more than to spend the rest of their life together as husband and wife. The only hold up has been Theo's brother Marcus - without him there, Theo didn't feel right about sealing his union with the woman he loves. When Marcus finally swallows his pride and returns to the family, he realizes just how much damage his silence has done and endeavors to right some of those wrongs by giving his brother and Naomi their dream wedding. The problem is - whose dream wedding is it?

When Jonathan decided to help Lisa, he was trying to atone in some way for his past sins. He certainly wasn't expecting to be pulled into a night full of hiding out from the press with a journalist called Sandra Haegen and almost being choked to death by a rockstar in love with his ex. When Sandra decided to help Lisa by feeding Perry, she was just trying to be a good person. She also wasn't expecting to spend the night hiding from the press.
