Hating Him


Book Description

Seducing the wrong guy has never been so right... Jake Kane only sees Mandy as his “little sister’s best friend,” no matter that she is twenty years old. After finally building up the confidence to seduce him, Mandy finds herself in his dorm room wearing nothing but a trench coat and heels…when his totally hot roommate walks in instead. Rules for Seduction: 1. Make sure to leave the light on, so you don’t mistake the sexy stranger/roommate for the one you were waiting for. 2. Never see him again even if he was the best kiss you’ve ever had and his incredible body is like something out of an erotic fairytale.3. Do NOT fall in love with the self-centered, pompous, unbelievably sexy stranger. 3. Make sure to leave the light on, so you don’t mistake the stranger for the one you were waiting for. Sadly, Mandy has broken all of these rules. For Mandy Cross, an art major who only paints in black and white, cocky athlete Brandon Gage adds a dangerous splash of color to her life. “King of Campus” Brandon is used to getting what he wants, so he won’t give up his pursuit of her—despite her telling him she has loved his roommate Jake since high school. After a sports injury, Brandon becomes her patient at the university health clinic where she works and hatches his own plan to make Mandy forget about Jake and fall for him instead. But he soon learns that pretending to date her only makes him want her more. She says he pushes her buttons, but all he wants is to undo them. The more Mandy gets to know the real Brandon, the more she realizes maybe she doesn’t hate the player. Maybe she just hates the way he makes her feel—tingly, out of control, utterly head over heels, and vulnerable to heartbreak. *This novel was originally published in 2018 by The Wild Rose Press.
