Pretty Rebound

Jackson hired Lex to help him forget his ex. Falling in love was never part of the arrangement. Jackson Lim can buy anything he wants: cars, a penthouse, and a closet full of bitchy designer high-heels to match his idol-perfect looks. Just not emotional availability. When his fiancé finally walks away, Jackson doesn’t just cope. He negotiates distraction with a private one-night arrangement: one very bad idea named Lex Murillo. Lex has survived addiction, homelessness, and more bad luck than one lifetime should reasonably contain. He pays the bills through escort work and camming, but Lex’s real talent is reading a room in under ten seconds, talking his way through anything, and making people reconsider exactly what they thought they wanted. What was supposed to be an easy one-night paycheck with Jackson turns into designer suits, private jets, opera nights, luxury hotels, and a connection neither man expected. The problem? Lex wants something real. Jackson isn't sure he's capable of giving it. As feelings deepen and old insecurities collide, they'll have to decide whether what started as a rebound can become the love story neither of them saw coming. Pretty Rebound is a high-heat, grumpy/sunshine MM romantic comedy inspired by Pretty Woman and Crazy Rich Asians: a billionaire rebound romance full of luxury, banter, found family chaos, emotional healing, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. ©2025, 2026 Simona Niles (P)2026 Simona Niles
