About The Genius and the Bad Boy
The Genius and the Bad Boy is a good girl, bad boy romance about Sophie May, a brilliant, driven heroine who can’t afford a single scandal, and Rylan Barry, a gifted rebel living in the shadow of his powerful father. Forced together, they begin to see the truth behind each other’s reputations.
This good girl bad boy romance puts a genius and a rebel on a collision course. Sophie May has worked too hard to lose everything now. One mistake could cost her future, and one scandal could send her back to the life she fought to escape.
Rylan Barry doesn’t care about futures. Brilliant but labeled a failure, he lives in the shadow of a powerful father who has already decided who he is. Trouble follows him, and nobody believes he can be more.
Until Sophie does. Forced into each other’s orbit, ambition clashes with rebellion and discipline challenges defiance, and they start to see the truth behind the rumors. In a world built on reputation and silence, standing up for what’s right comes with consequences.
A slow-burn story about resilience, courage and a love that grows from choice.
