But now he’s back…and I feel like I’m in heaven. Axel Moreland bullied me in high school. The best day of my life was the day I graduated from that hell. And when I left, I never intended to see him ever again. Eight years later, I learn that my parents have hired his construction company to renovate their house. The thought of Axel in my childhood home makes me sick. I take action to stop him. I tell him off like I should have years ago. He acts like he’s different now, but I know the truth about him. Don’t I? To my shock, he’s actually changed. And to my horror, I find myself liking the new Axel. I can’t fall for him, though, can I? He was so cruel to me. What if he goes back to his old ways? Right now, though, it feels more torturous to not give into my desire. BUILT TO HATE YOU is a short hate-to-love romance with steam, sweetness, and a happily-ever-after!

    I was offered the chance to be part of their ritual. Old rules. Old traditions. Old building. Old money. But all of this was new to me. I wasn’t one of them. I wasn’t rich or privileged, and I was far from arrogant. The Kings, both Trent and James, were the most gorgeous but dangerously cruelest guys that I’d ever met. They expected me to fall in line and fade away as if their sky blue eyes would brainwash me as they continued to torture me. I was the new girl, but I was no princess. They may be the Kings of Hawk Academy, but when I find out their secrets, I’m going to bring them and these old walls tumbling down. Author's Note: This is book ONE in a THREE book series.
