Broken Ex-Bully

The boy who threw a cheeseburger at her in high school just called her beautiful, and he has no idea who she is.

Chloe spent four years of high school hiding in a bathroom stall from Renzo Dawes. He threw food at her. He called her ugly. He pointed and laughed the day she slipped in the cafeteria, and she spent her college savings on fat camp instead of a state school. She became a nurse, and she promised herself she would never stand in front of him again.

Three years later she flies to Hawaii for her best friend's wedding, and the groom's brother turns out to be Renzo. He finds her by the fountain, calls her beautiful, and asks her name.

He does not recognize her.

Renzo runs a voice cloning company now. He apologizes for the boy he refuses to be anymore. Then he admits the part he never said out loud at thirteen. He wanted her. His mother told him women exist to be arm candy. So he tormented her, and nobody ever guessed why.

Chloe has never been kissed. She has never been in love. She has one weekend, one wedding, and one man who cuts off every person who ever mocked her.

Forgiving him would cost her the story she built her whole life around. Wanting him already has.

Tropes: reformed bully, destination wedding, forced proximity, virgin heroine, first kiss, glow up, tech CEO hero, rich boy and poor girl, he apologizes and means it, no cheating, HEA guaranteed.

A short, steamy contemporary romance in the Broken Brothers series. Every Dawes brother gets his own book and his own happy ending.

Narrated by Victoria Pinder in an AI digital voice.
