Chloe was living the ultimate "riches to more riches" fantasy after a tragic car accident wiped out her memories and her past. Adopted by the effortlessly glamorous Rachel, Chloe finds herself dropped into the lap of luxury-complete with a penthouse view, designer everything, and a golden ticket to Bradford High, New York City's most elite prep school. Life is perfect, right?
Wrong. Enter Brett Cooper: tall, athletic, and annoyingly good-looking. Brett is the guy every girl swoons over-except Chloe, who would rather throw herself off a cliff than be caught dead blushing in his presence. Their first encounter? A disaster. And it only goes downhill from there.
Brett might have a smile that could melt ice caps, but to Chloe, he's just a walking ego with too many fans and too little time for anything resembling humility. The feeling is mutual, and neither of them is shy about it. The gloves are off, and so begins a game of pranks, banter, and sparks flying-none of which are exactly friendly.
But as the battle between them heats up, Chloe starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, there's more to Brett than meets the eye. And maybe she's not as immune to his charm as she thought.
"Hate At First Sight" is a witty, tension-filled ride through the highs and lows of a love story that begins with all the wrong moves. It's a tale of opposites, with a twist of humor, a dash of drama, and just enough heart to keep you guessing: will Chloe and Brett ever call a truce, or is this war just getting started?
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
