Aussie: A Bad Boy Second Chance Romance
Kate Dawes, Ava Catori

He lived with us after he lost his parents. We bonded in ways I never expected, but Luke kept his distance for reasons I never understood.
Sometimes I hated him, especially when he got himself into trouble and vanished. I never knew what became of him. My parents wouldn't allow it. They said he was dangerous...
Seven years later, we've collided once again.
His cockiness matured into a more subdued, strong confidence. He may still have that dark side, but I'm drawn to him more than I ever was, and this time he's not pushing me away.
Secrets have a way of coming to light, and when the truth about what happened back then is revealed, nothing will be the same.
(This is a full-length bad boy romance with HEA and no cheating. Previously published as "Tameless" for a short time in the summer of 2015, this novel has been reworked by the authors and now includes an all-new ending.)
