A Love Born of Hate | BATB SERIES #2
The first time his eyes landed on her, it was like staring into a shard of broken glass-sharp, unforgiving, and reflecting back every part of himself he'd spent years trying to hide.
She, in turn, saw him as a wall of stone: cold, impenetrable, and built to keep everyone out.
Their interactions were like fireworks made of ice-brilliant for a split second, then melting into nothing but bitterness.
Will they, in time, learn to peel back the layers of resentment that have become as familiar as their own skin, to see beyond the walls they've built and the words they've thrown like weapons, and in doing so, discover a love that was hiding in plain sight all along? Or will they let the bitterness take root so deeply in their hearts?
