Shy Girls Sweet Romances Shy Girls Can't Date Bullies: Ya Romance Illustrated Cover Edition, Book 2, (Paperback)

He's a ten, but he scares the crap out of me.

Beau Stevenson was my best friend. But things changed after my mom died, his family moved, and he became Ashworth Academy's most feared bully.

We haven't spoken in four years. Now he's the guy everyone runs from, and I'm the girl who stays invisible.

After another suspension, the vice principal forces him onto my dance committee. My carefully ordered world crashes into his chaos. Every meeting is torturous, as classmates flinch in his presence.

When my rival steals my ideas and humiliates me in front of everyone, Beau steps in. I should hate what he's become. Instead, every time he defends me, I see flashes of the boy I used to know.

I thought he'd forgotten I existed, but he's been watching over me all along.

My overprotective dad would lose his mind if he knew I was falling for the bad boy. But when Beau looks at me with those piercing blue eyes, I remember what it felt like to be brave.

Now, risking my reputation, I want my best friend back. I just hope he doesn't break my heart.
