Bad Rep by S.N. Garza

Bad boy Deke Morgan spent most of his life getting it wrong. When he rescues Penelope from bullies, an unlikely friendship blossoms.
When Penny meets the bad boy in town, she doesn’t know how to handle him or the feelings that begin to arise. All she knows is that she wants to get to know the boy who saved her.

Just when their relationship becomes intimate, Deke breaks it off, not wanting anything to do with her.
Heartbroken and angry, Penny goes away to Arizona State. Anything to get as far away from Deke as possible. But that doesn’t stop fate from getting in her way. Chance encounters and one night stands with Deke leave Penny devastated. Until years later when she’s forced to go back home.

Tattooed and working at the only tattoo parlor in town, Southern Ink, Deke knows that when Penelope finally returns home, he’s given the chance to finally make amends for his cruelty towards the one woman that he can’t forget and won’t get over. Now that she’s all grown up, he wants a second chance. He’s going to have to prove to her that he’s the man of her dreams. Because this time, he’s not letting her go.

He’s irresistible. She’s unforgettable.
Sometimes the best men have the worst reputations.
