Michael

I treasured my brother as much as I treasured her

So, I cared for her secretly, wished her to be happy with him

But she betrayed him and didn't return until six years later.

I promised to take my revenge and punish her for causing his death

And for putting my heart in a cruel game of fate

The woman I want to love the most is the very woman I most hated.

Michael Pratt secretly loved Tessa Conley because his twin brother, Matthew, also loved her. He watched on the side as the woman he loved the most stayed with a brother he loved just as much. But Tessa left and never returned, sending Matthew in despair, which Michael believed caused his death. For that, Mathew hated the only woman he loved and vowed to punish her if he appeared in front of her. Six years later, she returned.

Is it time now for her punishment? Or time for Michael to chase the romance he let go for his brother?

Punishing Tessa is the second book of The Bad Blue Curvy Romances, a series of standalone HEA romances between blue-collar workers and the beautiful, feisty, and curvy women of Hood River.
