What started as hate was never meant to become love. When Tessa's mother falls for Hardin's father, anger draws an instant line between them. Hardin is guarded, volatile, and carrying more darkness than he knows how to control. Tessa is the last person he should care about - and the one who slowly breaks through his defenses. As their connection deepens, truths long buried come to the surface. Tessa carries a past she never learned how to name, and when she finally dares to trust Hardin with it, everything changes. His anger shifts. His need to protect her becomes absolute. But some dangers don't stay in the past. Lies blur into trust, familiar faces hide secrets, and the love that brought them together is about to be tested in ways neither of them saw coming. Because loving each other was the easy part. Surviving what comes next won't be. *** Currently rewriting

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. Nicknames, a love of soccer, and school rumors are all the bad boy and the tomboy have in common. But if they give each other a chance, will they find something more? ***** Seventeen-year-old Macy Anderson is a tomboy that plays soccer, hangs with the guys, can't stand girls (except her best friend Jasmine) and doesn't know who Sam Cahill is. But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seems to work on all the girls -- except Macy, who has a rule not date in high school. But when Sam starts showing her his moves (on and off the soccer field), Macy begins to see a different guy under the leather-clad exterior. Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038
