Malia's life was never her own. Tormented by her chronic illness, she believed a normal life filled with love, passion, or even a happy ending was impossible. She accepted her fate. She would die and never have the love they talk about in novels. 

Until she meets Denver, by chance, who makes her question her morals. With bad boy down to a T, she blows him off. Only to find her mind, time and time again, thinking of him. Wanting him despite her desperate attempts to prevent it. 

Denver, dealing with his own problems, still only wants to show her that a life worth living is possible. Her constant attempts of pushing him away make him crave to know her even more. Denver will unlock deep desires within Malia that only he can reach.

"This is a story about our love. An intoxicating, fast-paced love that didn't think of time as a source of measurement over the course of a summer that changed my life forever.

A Bad Boy's Worst Nightmare (Book 1) by shadowed_descent

She didn't reply and I felt her finger move across my skin, lower, and almost all the way down my lower back. A shiver coursed through my body, strangely pleasant, and I felt her finger stop. "Your tattoos are beautiful," she said softly. Too close. She was too close. My pulse was hammering and I could feel her cool breath against my skin when she spoke, and my body was warm from having felt her. I couldn't reply. My breathing was light and shaken. I wanted to just turn around and pull her against me, or rather put her against a wall, so I could kiss her and feel her more properly against me. If she touched me again, I wasn't sure that I could keep myself from doing just that. "I'm going to take a shower," I said suddenly in an attempt to escape. She didn't stop me, so I took that opportunity to walk away. When I reached the bathroom, I took a deep breath to steady myself as well as my pulse. Closing the door behind me, I ran a hand through my hair. She truly was a nightmare. A bad boy's worst nightmare was a girl that made him want to be a good one.
