When you grow up, bullies are supposed to be a thing of the past. A part of your childhood that you never fully recover from as you escape into the "so-called" real world. And after college graduation, I thought I’d escaped them. But I was wrong. Because the company I've committed to, the company that can ignite my career and change my life, belongs to him. Joseph Ryker. The bully from high school who punished me for my older sister’s sins. Because at one point, he loved her. Adored her. Worshipped her. And when she got bored, she didn’t just break his heart. No. She broke him.

Brooding, dark-eyed Oscar takes pictures of me when I'm not looking and tempts me with his piercings, inked skin, and honeyed words.

They’ve both changed: She’s a struggling single mom; he’s running from a past he’s trying to hide while opening up a new tattoo shop. Yet the moment he sees her again, he knows she’s the one for him.

And it’s just my luck that my first blind date—heck, my first date since "The Incident"—happens to be with him. I’ve spent years hiding myself from men. From life.
