Description

Bad Girl Reputation: An Avalon Bay Novel.

Bestselling author Elle Kennedy returns to Avalon Bay with a heartfelt and steamy second-chance romance about former lovers forced to confront the past—and decide whether their future still belongs together.

Genevieve West never expected to come back to Avalon Bay, but after her mother’s passing, she returns to the seaside town she once couldn’t wait to leave. Determined to focus on family responsibilities and avoid old mistakes, she’s especially intent on steering clear of her former boyfriend, Evan Hartley. Their relationship was unforgettable—equal parts chaos, heartbreak, and undeniable chemistry—and she’s convinced revisiting it would only reopen old wounds.

Living in a close-knit coastal community, however, makes avoiding Evan nearly impossible. Every unexpected encounter reminds Genevieve why she fell for him in the first place. He’s still charming, rebellious, and impossible to ignore, stirring emotions she believed she’d left behind.

While Genevieve plans to stay only long enough to help her father manage the family business before moving on with her life, Evan isn’t willing to let their story end so easily. Believing they’ve both changed, he’s determined to prove that love deserves another chance—even if it means confronting his own past and becoming the man she needs.

As old feelings resurface and new possibilities emerge, Genevieve and Evan must decide whether people can truly leave their mistakes behind and whether the love they once shared is strong enough to survive a second beginning.

Filled with heartfelt emotion, sizzling chemistry, and the charm of a small-town setting, this captivating romance explores forgiveness, personal growth, and the hope that sometimes the right person deserves another chance.
