Siani Babineaux's plans were simple: finish her senior year at LSU, pursue her career as a freelance artist, and live happily ever after with her long distance boyfriend. Lyle Riperton, her then 4th-grade bully, changes all of that. Entering her life eleven years later a reformed man, Siani has no problems of letting go of the past and building a friendship with the boy who made her life a living hell. But when Siani's proposal of camaraderie is taken as an opportunity for Lyle to jeopardize her current relationship and turns her world on its head, she wishes she'd never come in contact with him again. dearotis © 2016
