"We can fall in love without destroying each other. We can fall in love without having to change. But the thing is you're too stubborn and I'm too afraid. In the end, we'll only erupt into flames." Hollyn Mitchell always dreamt of having the perfect life: the perfect job, the perfect guy and the perfect home and for awhile she had all of this. However, what she didn't expect was for her life to be turned upside down in the blink of an eye. With a hardened heart and her feisty attitude, she has to find a way to support her younger brother. She never in a million years would've imagined meeting her match. Sexy, brooding and very disciplined Kaiden Lann thinks he's got her all figured out: a typical city girl with not a care in the world. But what happens when her feistiness and his need for discipline collide? Do opposites really attract or will they burn each other far more than when they met?

Laura couldn't recall a single incident which would result in the cruel hatred Chris had apparently developed just for her. It was like her every breath, every move would offend him. To the outside world Chris was a drool worthy, composed, intelligent person but in Laura's eyes he was a disturbed individual with the perfect disguise. Yet if he hated her with such unexplainable, meticulous passion then why were there moments where his lips would come crashing down on hers. This ignited physical desire was nothing more than an unnatural upheaval. Even though she knew it was wrong Laura fell defenseless against the sweet jaded temptation. What happens when they need that sick twisted comfort to survive? When they depend on each other like a drug? Because the only true solace Chris got from his pain was when he was kissing Laura. Could it be true? Can love really spring up from the depths of hate? Hating You Sweetly is a TWISTED Romance. ***** This is a new edited version of my original "Hating You Sweetly" story. This one also has a few new extra scenes. I hope you enjoy.**** Thank you MLAddix_ for the bookcover. I love it 😁😚

*COMING EVENTUALLY * [SPIN-OFF OF "THE STRENGTH OF US"] There's always been something missing in Nicolette's life. Up until just a few years ago, she found it - her twin sister that she'd been separated from nearly at birth. Though that still feels like it wasn't quite all that was missing. Nicolette is more than the girl her sister tracked down just days before their seventeenth birthday. She's in a brand new city on the east coast, hoping to leave her midwest roots behind and start over. She's older, wiser, and sadly, she's lonelier. When worlds collide and tragedy strikes, Nicolette ends up finding sanctuary in the one person her twin can't stand. Twisted lies are weaved, pasts are uncovered, and hearts are broken. As the saying goes, let bygones be bygones, but how can you let them go when they hit so damn close to home? Life is tough in your twenties. It's even tougher when you're Nicolette Knox.
