HATING YOU LOVING YOU
HATING YOU LOVING YOU
“Everyone warned Elena Carter to stay away from Adrian Blackwood. Arrogant, mysterious, ridiculously handsome, and seemingly impossible to understand, Adrian is the boy every girl at Westbridge High wants. Elena, the quiet new girl, has no intention of becoming another name on his list of admirers. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. Their first meeting is a disaster, their arguments are endless, and their growing attraction is something neither of them wants to admit. But Adrian has a past he cannot escape. An accident, broken promises, jealous friendships, and secrets buried for far too long threaten to destroy the fragile trust Elena is beginning to place in him. Just when she thinks she is finally understanding the boy behind the arrogance, another challenge appears: Adrian's chance at a scholarship overseas could take him away from everything he has come to love. Now Elena must discover whether love can survive secrets, distance, and difficult choices. Can two people who began by hating each other find a reason to choose each other? Or will the truth and the future pull them apart? Sometimes, the person you least expect becomes the person you cannot imagine losing. And sometimes, the greatest love stories begin with a little hate.”
