Rebel

<p><strong><em>I slept with the girl I bullied in high school then left her on prom night.</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>I screwed up.</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Ten years later if I don't save her the damage I've caused will consume us both.</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>Do you hate me?</p><p><br></p><p>I would-and did-until I actually achieved infamy and could bury my past in booze parties and endless nights.</p><p>You'd be right too. I don't deserve to have good things come my way. I tend to be drawn to broken things and then make them unfixable.</p><p><br></p><p>Which is why years later when my bandmate tells me the girl I shattered is in town well ... I'm tracking her down. I can't resist.</p><p><br></p><p>Only she's not the McKenna Beckley I remember. My Mack.</p><p><br></p><p>The sweet shy bookish schoolgirl I ruined has disappeared and in her place is a gorgeous curvaceous and jaded woman who's gotten herself into some bad bad things.</p><p><br></p><p>Is there any hope of a second chance with us? I haven't changed one bit. I'll always be the jerk she remembers. So it's more like a second chance at ruin.</p><p><br></p><p>Problem is she might just become mine.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p><strong>REBEL<em> is a second chance enemies-to-lovers romance with a morally gray hero who falls hard for the girl he shattered.</em></strong></p><p><em>It can be read as a complete standalone.</em></p><p><em>No cliffhanger.</em></p><p><em>Warning potential triggers like bullying shaming substance use explicit content and profanity ahead.</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><em>*previously published as Backstage with Him.</em></p>
