I should have known better than to fall for his charms, but as he challenged me with bets and pushed me out of my comfort zone, I couldn’t help but be intrigued. As I followed Hunter down a path of make-out sessions and wild parties, I realized too late that I was the one changing.
And not for the better. Bad Boy Isn’t My Type…
is a cautionary tale about the dangers of falling for the wrong person, and the consequences that come with trying to keep up with someone who’s always on the edge.
