Those were just a few names Kurt had called her growing up. He was her bully, and he didn't care. One chemistry assignment changed everything. Kim refused to give in to him, so he had no choice but to leave. Ten years later, Kim's stubbornness gives him the chance to show her that he's no longer her bully. Kim didn't like asking for help, but Kurt made an offer she couldn't refuse. She didn't want to be the girl that fell for the man who hurt her. She was stronger than that. Kurt was not that guy anymore, and no matter how much she tried to fight the boy, this was a man. Can two complete opposites find love? Can Kurt prove that he's no longer a bully, and is in fact the perfect guy for her? Will Kim take that chance? UGLY: In every element of her life, even before she was born, Blake Carson has failed. She isn't a boy, she isn't pretty, she doesn't fit in-she is ugly. That is what she believes. All of her faults make her ugly. Then he comes along. Logan Black has met ugly head on, and lived to tell the tale. Now he has moved to West County, to get away from both his father and the pain of the past. He never expected to meet his future, but there she sits in the cafeteria at school, accepting everyone's judgment, and worse, believing them. But Logan knows she isn't ugly. She isn't a failure, and he is about to show her another way. He is determined to be her friend-and more. Then a fight brings his father to town, and Logan runs, taking Blake with him. But they can't run forever, and when an accident leaves them no choice, they have to head home and face the consequences of what they did. Can their love survive the real ugly in the world?
