Bully Romance Books

Bully romance features a hero who torments the heroine — publicly humiliating her, making her life miserable, wielding social power like a weapon. But beneath the cruelty lies obsession. He can't stop thinking about her. He doesn't understand why hurting her feels like hurting himself. Dark bully romance explores the toxic line between hate and desire, often in high school, college, or elite social settings. The redemption arc (if there is one) requires the bully to confront why he targeted her and prove his feelings are real. Not everyone gets redeemed.
