He’s damaged beyond repair, and she’s his cure. 

It just might go both ways.

Percie Matthews’s life changed in a heartbeat on one tragic night. The affectionate person turned unloving and cold. From compassion became egotistic and blunt—those are what Percie is known for. Until a smart, soft-hearted, and gullible Hailey Ward walks into his world.

Hailey never swears and keeps her distance from people, especially a broody bad boy like Percie. At first look, she knows he is bad news.
When Hailey is looking for a roommate, he’s shocked to find himself offering her a place. What will happen when a cold like him lives together with a kind-hearted and warm Hailey? How will he keep his head straight when she keeps reminding him of someone he lost?

Broken bad boy

　　I masked my smile with a frown and crossed my arms over my chest. I wanted to show Hailey that even if she came back to our apartment didn't mean anything to me.


　　“What are you doing here, Hailey? Aren’t you supposed to be with your parents?” My voice was firmed.


　　“Dad drove me here. He said I should apologize for what I did during dinner,” she answered quietly, not meeting my gaze.


　　Her gaze snapped to me with furrowed brows. "Where is the what?”?


　　I did a low growl. “The apology Hailey.” Deep inside, I was grinning. We were still in the hallway, and I was patiently waiting to hear it from her.


　　“Um. I’m sorry.” Her voice came out a whisper.


　　“Not sincere enough,” I deadpanned.


　　Pink blossomed on her cheeks while she twisted her finger. “I said, I’m sorry, okay. I was just embarrassed.”


　　“Then why did you hang up on me? I wasn’t done talking.”


　　She froze. Her eyes widened. Now she realized what she did.
