Drunk on Hate

[ON HOLD/REWRITING]

❝You're infuriating,❞ I whisper, bitterness laced through my words.

His gaze glimmers as his lips curve up with amusement. ❝You're beautiful.❞

Starry eyed and ambitious Harper doesn't believe in fairytales. Nor did she believe she'd ever want to punch someone and kiss them at the same time.

That's where hopelessly charming, pretty boy Athen falls into the equation.

With a vicious track record of being year-long academic rivals, the two have nothing but insatiable hatred bubbling between them. Until, one hazy night, when a drunken mistake spirals out of control leaving sparks fluttering in the air and fine lines dwindling into dust.

The twist? As ways of fate strike, they find themselves huddled away on a summer trip with their eccentric mutual friend group. Surrounded by the salty coastal air and cobalt waves, how long will it take quarterback Athen to knock gymnast Harper off the balance beam?

One beach town. One roof. Two yearning hearts.
