November's Bad Boy: Kacen

Enemies. One night. And a second chance I never saw coming.

KACEN
I swore I’d never come back to Mustang Mountain.
But when my brother calls, I drop everything—because I owe him more than I can ever repay.
I show up for a holiday party, get guilted into a costume… and run smack into Natalie.
The girl I hurt. The one I never forgot.
She’s curvy, confident, and still looks at me like I’m the villain in her story.
She’s not wrong.
But one heated night, one mistake we both say we regret, and now I can’t stop thinking about her.
I’ve changed. I just need her to believe it.

NATALIE
Kacen is back in town.
Older. Hotter. Still infuriating.
The guy who used to tear me down in high school now wants to help me fix leaky pipes and plan Friendsgiving?
Please.
I don’t care how soft his eyes get or how sweet his apology sounds—I won’t fall for the town bad boy turned holiday handyman.
But then… I do.
I see the man behind the guilt and swagger. And I fall hard.
Until he breaks my trust all over again.
Now the small-town gossip mill is churning, secrets are unraveling, and I have to decide—can I risk my heart one more time?

Welcome to Mustang Mountain, where rough roads lead to redemption.
