My Curvy Crush: BBW's Bully to Boss High Heat Romance
Paige Ryland

“It’s me,” he said, as if that would ring a bell. “From high school. I’m Carter Braswell.”
“Carter,” I repeated, as it dawned on me. That Carter . The one who, along with his pals, had made my senior year of high school the year from hell. I drew myself up, folded my arms over my chest, as if to put some distance between us. “Wh-what do you want?”
Hayley:
In my senior year of high school, Carter Braswell and his buddies bullied me and taunted me unmercifully every chance they got, mostly in the hallways between classes so everyone could hear them and see me being humiliated.
When he comes back to town, he literally walks back into my life when someone else is taking advantage of me, and now he’s being the nice guy and offering to defend me. I don’t know what to make of it. I never dreamed the guy would change his old bullying habits. Has he though?
It’s hard to resist a wealthy guy who is so gorgeous, but I put up a fight, determined not to be so forgiving, after all he put me through. The thing is, no matter how hard I resist, he keeps coming back for more, determined to change my mind. Will he prove to me that he’s changed? Will he make his way into my heart… and into my bed? Since he’s been back my fantasies have run wild…
Carter:
I know Hayley had a crush on me in high school, but I gave in to peer pressure and went along with the guys. I joined in and teased and taunted Hayley without letting up. We made her senior year a total dread, a living hell. But I’ve grown up since then and changed. I just want Hayley to see it for herself, see how I regret bullying her, and maybe she’ll give me another chance. If I hadn’t treated her so badly in high school, we would have been together back then, and I hope I can show her how I feel so we can be together now.
All I want is a second chance to prove myself… and I’ll never hurt her again.
There is one thing about me that she doesn’t know yet, though, and that could change everything!
A short high heat romance about second chances and redemption. No cheating, a hot encounter and a HEA.
