Book 3 of The Conquest Series Leila Winters always rubbed her best friend's brother the wrong way. It went from petty little remarks and pranks to an all-out hatred of each other. While Leila is a free spirit, Nathan Charles is just like his father: old school, old ideas and old country. After coming back to the states after living in England for the past few years, Nathan is yet again in the midst of the girl he always hated. What he doesn't seem to get is that there is a thin line between love and hate, and Leila Winters makes him want to straddle that line and never look back.

Or will she stay hidden forever? =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= He got up from the bed, pulling up his pants and not taking a glance at me. I lay in the sheets, still dazed by what we had just done. "Get up." He barks, making me jump a bit. I was confused beyond belief. Just moments ago he was making love to me... I did as he said, wrapping the loose sheet around my body, he continued to glare as I did so, and I made my way to his side of the bed. He held out a hand, an angry look on his face. "Don't. Just go. This was a mistake, and it won't happen again." He mutters coldly. I feel my face heating up and my eyes welling with tears. "Oh.." I stare at him, my emotions beginning to be hard to keep in. He laughs, shaking his head. "You thought I cared?" He let out a loud chuckle. "You mean nothing to me. Now go to your room, I don't want to see you in here again."
