Bad for You

by James , Monica

Bad for You thrives on the kind of friction that makes your pulse race. It is a story built on the combustible space between hatred and obsession, where the power dynamics are as volatile as the attraction itself. You are dropped into a world where family secrets act as landmines and every interaction carries the weight of a potential betrayal. The pacing is relentless, fueled by an atmosphere of constant tension that refuses to let you catch your breath. This is not a gentle romance; it is an intimate, high-stakes collision of two people who are fundamentally bad for one another but entirely unable to stay away. If you enjoy stories that blur the line between devotion and destruction and prefer your heroes with a sharp, dangerous edge, this book will keep you up well past your bedtime.
