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 rose to my feet and laughed as I took her hand. “Let’s do it.”


　　She didn’t hesitate and joined me. We sat side by side and dipped our legs into the water.


　　“Are you sure nothing is gonna pull our feet down?”


　　“You watch too many scary movies.”


　　She shook her head while smiling like a little girl.


　　“Sweetheart, no more head shaking. At least say yes or no.”


　　“Sorry, it feels good. The water is not that cold but not warm either.”


　　“I guess I really missed a lot having a good time like this.”


　　“I’m glad you have a good time with me.”


　　I let her stay like that while I prepared our food. She could be very talkative once she started trusting someone. She talked most of the time while I just stared and admired like a schoolboy.


　　After we enjoyed our food, I placed the two cushions side by side and patted my side. Hailey joined me. I let her head lie down on my arm instead.
