Falling For The Wrong Guy (College Series #2)

People always say love makes you blind, but nobody warned me it could make me see every single red flag, every lie, every crack... and still choose to stay.

Lila Hartley once believed in happy endings. Careful, kind, and guarded, she swore she'd never fall for someone arrogant, broken‑looking, or trouble written all over him. Then walked in Ethan Reyes, rich, cold, infuriatingly charming, the guy everyone whispers about, the one who ruins people and walks away like nothing happened.

Everyone warned her,  stay away, he's bad news, he'll break you. And Lila knew, every instinct screamed run. But curiosity turned into late‑night talks, sharp words softened into quiet moments... until she was already too deep. Until "just one more chance" became giving away pieces of herself, her joy, her worth, her voice, piece by piece, until nothing was left but whatever version of him wanted her to be.

This isn't a story about meeting your soulmate. This is about learning the hardest truth there is, loving someone doesn't mean they're right for you. And sometimes, the hardest, bravest thing you'll ever do... is finally walking away.

Contains toxic dynamics, emotional manipulation, substance themes, written to show what love shouldn't feel like.
