The Bad Boy's First Love Novel

After a traumatic brain injury at seventeen leaves her emotionally shut down, Lydia McKenzie transforms from a typical high school girl into someone who operates with mechanical efficiency, devoid of any feelings. Now twenty and enrolled at Rosewater University, her carefully constructed walls begin to crack. David Lyric Donovan embodies everything a bad boy should be—a street fighter with a criminal record, a reputation for brutal violence, and a revolving door of romantic conquests. He's the guy everyone either wants to be or thinks they can save. But Lydia refuses to play by his rules. Her blunt honesty and emotional detachment pierce through his defenses in ways no one else ever has, leaving him equally fascinated and infuriated by her indifference. As their paths collide, questions emerge: What darkness shaped Lydia's past? Can two such incompatible people find connection? And most importantly, will Lydia allow herself to feel again?
