Description

From L.J. Shen, the USA Today bestselling author of Pretty Reckless, comes a brand new book in the All Saints series.

Underneath the goody two-shoes persona is damaged goods...but can the bad boy across the street save her?

Bailey Followhill is the perfect daughter. Sweet. Charitable. Pretty. Control freak. Not a hair out of place, not an inch out of line, she is everything her troublemaking sister Daria isn't. But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip. The Troubled Child. A drug abuser. No longer the girl her best friend once knew.

Lev Cole is so golden, he's got the Midas Touch. Prized quarterback. Football captain. Hottest guy in SoCal. A textbook cliché. But with a girlfriend he doesn't love and a career path he doesn't value, Lev is coasting. The only two things he cares about--Bailey and becoming a pilot--are out of reach.

But Lev is done being satisfied with the life others have chosen for him. He wants to pick his own cards. To demolish the seamless kingdom of lies his family stitched together on the ruins his mother left behind.

The question is, can he save his best friend and his dream before too much damage is done?

Critical Reviews

"Damaged Goods is raw, emotional and the angst is next level! Lev Cole is truly a saint. This book had me swooning, made me mad and by the end, I was crying my eyes out. L.J. Shen outdid herself!" -- Monica Murphy, USA Today bestselling author of A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime

"L.J. Shen delivers a truly powerful story with Damaged Goods, hitting all the feels as Lev and Bailey's strong friendship is put to the test in this emotionally riveting and angsty masterpiece. This friends-to-lovers steamy standalone will have you pulling hard for both characters." -- Brittney Sahin, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

"Heartbreaking and beautiful. I love a book that makes me cry! I think there's a piece of all of us that feels like damaged goods. And it makes these characters so relatable that you'll be cheering for Bailev the whole time." -- Ivy Smoak, USA Today bestselling author
