REVAMPED version of the ORIGINAL Living With The Bad Boy posted on wattpad in 2012. "Sometimes when you least expect it, you're faced with the one person who could finally change everything for you. Make everything right after so long. All you got to do is take a chance. My brain was against the risk. But my heart? It screamed and pushed me towards Samuel - the boy who'd been my anchor since the beginning. The one who was pretty damn close to stamping ownership on my vital organ. And the one who - without an ounce of shame - tried to convince me to tattoo his initials on my private lady parts. Love was a fucking complicated thing." Former party girl, Jodanna "Barbie Girl" Reina Sereno, was knocked off her high post when a tragic accident sent her life spiraling out of control. Heart ripped and aching, she has to gather the broken pieces and move on with life like nothing happened. But that's hard to do when the seriously hot, blond-haired-green-eyed giant living under her roof keeps interrupting her plans of moving on from her past mistakes. He's fierce, passionate, a bit of a cocky asshole and determined to show her that he's exactly what she needs. Northwind High's very own, Samuel "Beer Boy" Adams, has more skeletons in his closet than he's willing to show. Fight Hard. Love Harder. That's his motto. Until an irresistible blond bombshell stumbles into his life. Now all he can think about is her and all the unmistakable dirty things he'd like to do this Pepsi-loving-and-thigh-high-boots enthusiast. It doesn't hurt knowing that she wants him just as bad as he wants her. Can Sam save Anna from the demons in her past and show her that they belong together? Life is all about sacrifices and compromises, and Sam and Anna both have their share of regrets. Sometimes you got to leave the things that tear and break you down. After all, it's Beer Boy and Barbie Girl until the world stops turning. © xXMopelXx 2012-2020
