so, no dark romance, but bully that goes soft?
I haven't really read that many things like this, but i hope this helps.

The Deal Elle Kennedy (Off-Campus #1)
College romance. MMC is cocky and arrogant but not 'a bully'. Slow burn enemies to lovers. rlly fun and addictive.

Punk 57 Penelope Douglas
YA/new adult vibe. Misha (MMC) is a jerk to Ryen (FMC) at school. Drama, angst, and eventual sweetness.

Bully Penelope Douglas (Fall Away #1)
Literally THE blueprint. Jared is mean for a reason (trauma alert, but not super dark). Amazing payoff when he redeems himself.

Tryst Six Venom Penelope Douglas
F/F twist with bully romance Clay is the mean girl cheerleader to Olivia. If u are open to sapphic romance — this is iconic.

Hey, I have put my heart and soul into writing this book- She who painted her own Universe. I am a big fan of Romantasy and fantasy fiction, and I tried to create a perfect blend of ACOTAR, Divergent, shadow hunters, etc. The e-book version is finally out, so if this sounds something like you- please do give it a read🥀 She Who Painted Her Own Universe
