For Gale Cerrera, home is not a safe place. Constantly hearing your parents curse and fight is not exactly ideal for a child, but these were the cards she had been dealt. Determined to escape, she tries everything, from joining the school paper to getting a part-time job. Nothing works. Until she meets Ethan.

Ethan Zamora is an outcast ─ bullied at school, counseled by an incompetent counselor, and haunted by nightmares from his past. He, too, desperately needs an escape. Through poems, books, and Gale's alluring charm, he finds solace and the freedom to be himself.

Every night, Gale and Ethan meet in the woods and sit by an angel statue, sharing their secrets and healing each other's wounds. Together, they learn that the only way to truly escape is to confront what they're running from. As they face the harsh realities they've long avoided, will their friendship survive the storm, or will they find something even deeper?All Rights Reserved

WARNING: This is an extraordinary romance novel that will capture your heart and stay with you until the very last page. - - When Ellaine Salvador discovered the truth about what Zander had done, she was devastated-dismayed beyond words, and consumed by hatred toward him.

His presence commanded attention, and his eyes, intense and unreadable, had a way of freezing people in place, as if time momentarily stopped. Though Zander was undeniably brilliant, he carried a reputation for being cold, manipulative, and emotionally detached. Secrets followed him like a shadow. That night, everything changed for Ellaine. The truth shattered her perception, and she wished to erase every memory of him. However, emotions are fleeting-they evolve. What is hate today may be love tomorrow. And love, just as easily, can fade into hate. And sometimes, the deepest hatred hides a love waiting to be awakened. - - Let Me Hate You First [ISWAH PART 1] Written by: ItsgirlxFRIEND Genre: Teen Fiction, Romance, Comedy, Action.
