Bad at Love

Description

"An open-hearted exploration of loneliness and love against the backdrop of the vibrant L.A. music scene." - Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys

This fun and flirty romance follows a teen rocker with a bad boy reputation and the aspiring journalist who's determined to dig up the dirt on him . . . if they don't fall for each other first.

Ever since Daniel moved to L.A. from Brazil to join the band Mischief & Mayhem, he's become the tabloids' bad boy. Paparazzi follow him, and girls swoon over him . . . except for Sasha, who hates bad boys. When a chance encounter brings them together, Sasha sees an opportunity to get close to Daniel and write a story that will make a name for herself at the celebrity gossip magazine where she interns. But Daniel is surprisingly sweet and extremely cute—could she be falling for him?

The truth is—Daniel is hiding something. When Sasha discovers his secret, will she follow her heart or deliver the hottest story of the summer?
