Rebecca Snyder doesn't do drama-at least, not intentionally. She's too busy running her cozy little bakery in Charleston, trying to keep her emotions in check and her walls sky-high. But when her business gets tangled in a local culinary competition, she comes face-to-face with Charlie Woods-the arrogant, gorgeous, emotionally unavailable restaurant owner who's infuriatingly good at pushing her buttons. Charlie has his own demons. Haunted by his complicated family history and driven by his relentless ambition, he's not looking for distractions-especially not ones that come with flour on their apron and fire in their eyes. But something about Rebecca gets under his skin... and stays there. What starts as a rivalry explodes into stolen glances, bold dares, and late-night confrontations that blur every line between hate and want. As they navigate workplace wars, personal tragedies, and a series of emotionally charged, undeniably steamy moments, Rebecca and Charlie are forced to confront the truth: maybe the person you can't stand is exactly the one your heart needs. But falling in love is never simple. When secrets from the past resurface, a near-tragedy shakes their world, and difficult choices threaten everything they've built, Rebecca and Charlie must decide-are they just enemies with chemistry, or soulmates who took the long way home? Hate You With My Heart is a raw, laugh-out-loud, gut-punchingly honest love story about passion, pain, healing, and the complicated beauty of finding "the one" in the last place you'd ever expect. Perfect for fans of slow burns, sarcastic banter, angsty longing, and characters who feel a little too real-this is not just a love story. It's a battle, a journey, and a promise.

Nightingale is human - or would be, had it not been for the manner of her creation. Genetically engineered and grown to adulthood in a lab, she was created, not born. Why? For the sole purpose of the entertainment of rich men as one of the many Inamoratas in the bordello business . Beautiful, elegant, a superb dancer and an even better singer, she is the perfect lover for any man. Perfect, that is, except for her personality - the one thing you can't engineer.

Secretly living in her car, Hazel lies to get a job as a housekeeper for a brooding, sexually intense man who seems to hate everyone, including her.

Identical twin sisters, Riley and Reia Morgan, couldn't be more different. Riley loves living a freespirited lifestyle, moving from job to job on a whim, choosing a different path at the drop of a hat, and enjoying casual relationships with men. Her only responsibility in life, is taking care of herself. Precisely how she wants it. Her sister Reia, on the other hand, has risen to success in her job, found the love of her life, and settled down.

[completed] Nova Carter knows exactly what the next few years of her life will look like: she will work harder than anyone else (as she didn't get into New York University to slack off); she'll be keeping her head down and prioritizing getting her affairs in order; and she'll ultimately make her parents proud by being the living proof of anyone with a disability being able to make their dreams come true. Little does she know that her carefully planned path is about to take a detour into the extraordinary. After all, she hadn't quite anticipated befriending the son of famous billionaire Sergei Macarevich on the first day of her orientation week, nor meeting the son of equally famous billionaire Hudson Wilder that same night. And she definitely hadn't anticipated tumbling right into the inner circle of New York's elite (disability, clumsiness, inexperience and all). As Nova navigates this new life, she finds herself forming an unconventional family around her. With her childhood best friend by her side, Nova immerses herself in the lives of her newfound wealthy friends, an exuberant roommate, and a spirited group of NYU's disabled rebels led by their eccentric counselor - finding love in forms she'd never dreamed of on her way. A romantic, heart-warming and diverse coming-of-age with a Spotify playlist and characters' social media posts.

He was horrible at remembering names. It was weeks before he stopped calling me 'Laura.' I don't even look like a Laura. And the way he never used the intercom system? How professional, my boss is screaming across the office for me. Again. He's arrogant. He's always seven minutes late. Couldn't keep an assistant around if his life depended on it. He didn't even deserve this company. Daddy served it to him on a silver platter. I could hear him tapping his stupid pen off of his stupid desk from all the way out here. I hate him. I hate him and his damn dimples too. I hate you Daniel Metzgar.

Natalia Stevens is smart, nice and shy-and this is exactly how everyone sees her. Even day-to-day conversations with friends and classmates are difficult, and guys certainly don't pay her any attention.

Despite the apparent chemistry developing, she struggles to believe there is anything between them. Before she can make sense of it all, volleyball season is winding down, and it appears her mystifying crush will be out of her life for good. Natalia enters university just as socially petrified as she had been in high school, but new experiences with friends, booze and boys open up a surprising world of possibility. She realizes she can talk openly to other people for the first time, and this exhilarating discovery fosters a newfound confidence she thought she might never uncover in herself. Along the roller coaster ride of thrilling and frustrating crash-and-burn encounters with various crushes, however, there is one guy Nati can't seem to shake from her mind.
