When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. Never ask about the past. Don’t expect a future. They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shattered. Love gets ugly. ---- Ugly Love by bestselling author Colleen Hoover will release Tuesday August 5, 2014. Colleen Hoover is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Slammed, Point of Retreat, This Girl, Hopeless, Losing Hope, Maybe Someday, and Finding Cinderella.

I faced his grinning face, white teeth gleaming and eyes sparkling with playfulness and fumed at him, " I am not going to do this. I WILL not do this!", I shouted at him, clenching my fist. He tilted his face to one side with a quiet expression, studying me, as if considering my refusal. Emboldened by his stance, I defiantly cross my arms around my chest, shooting daggers at him with my eyes. But then the playfulness comes back in his eyes and he smiles and raises his eyebrows ," Then my love", he steps forward suddenly and grabs me by the shoulders, " It must go on without your consent". Emma is a 17 year old girl studying in high school. Pretty ordinary right?
