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

　　“Wow! Who owned this place? Or are we trespassing?” I saw the amazement in Hailey’s eyes as she wandered to the property of my grandparents.


　　The two-story stucco house had a huge front lawn, beautiful landscapes, and a deck to the lake at the back of the house that Hailey was about to see.


　　Grandma loved this place so much and had been with them for a long time. As a real estate business proprietor, they knew clients would put big money into a property like this.


　　“We would not trespass on our first date, Lee. This belongs to my grandparents.” I was holding her hand as we marched to the front door.


　　The last time I visited this place was my last summer with Emma before we started our senior year. Nothing had changed with the interior. Our family pictures were mounted, then the last picture I had with Emma and my grandparents was just above the fireplace. The living room had the same furniture. One thing has changed, I came back without my family, but with Hailey.
