Bad boy meets the brainiac...

He was the bad boy who was born rotten. She was the brainiac book worm who would never be with a guy like him.

Dex Halliwell is the tatted leather-wearing, torn jeans hot guy with a pierced lip whose hooded eyes can tear off panties.

He was the one the principal warned you about.

Taylor Rhee was the good girl pastor's kid who had to keep on the straight path towards her career goals. She didn't have room or time for romance, especially with a guy who would take her off her goal.

But there was an undeniable chemistry that can't be ignored.

He was sure he was no good for her. He was a bad seed. Born rotten to the core. But he couldn't let her go...

**Born Rotten is the prequel novella to the Enemies to Lover book, Married in Malibu, appropriate for 17 and up.
