Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn't drink or swear, and she has the appropriate percentage of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend America, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs--and wants--to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the charming college co-ed. Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his charms, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis' apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

This book and its follow-up, Walking Disaster, contain a story of a roller coaster romance between Abby Abernathy and Travis Maddox. They are total opposites in most ways but feel so intensely about one another that they just cannot stay away. The relationship becomes boarderline unhealthy at times but this makes the book even harder to put down. I've read this book 3 times now, the first time I devoured the whole thing at one time, in an up all night reading extravaganza. The second book, Walking Disaster is Travis's point of view (POV). It's essentially the same story with some added information when he and Abby were not together.
Jamie McGuire has also released a follow-up novella, A Beautiful Wedding. As well as a spin off series called The Maddox Brothers. The first book Beautiful Oblivion follows Travis's older brother Tenton as he meets the feirsly independent Camilla "Cami" Camlin. The second book in the series, Beautiful Redemption, is listed as a current project on Jamie's website but does not have a release date yet.
