HATING MR. STERLING
HATING MR. STERLING
“HATING MR. STERLING Charlotte Bennett has three rules in life: work hard, mind her business, and stay away from arrogant rich men. Unfortunately, her new neighbour is determined to make all three impossible. Alexander Sterling is London's most eligible billionaire. Handsome, wealthy and ridiculously arrogant, he is used to getting everything he wants. He likes silence, order and people who know their place. Charlotte is none of those things. From their disastrous first meeting to their endless arguments over apartment noise, parking spaces and unexpected midnight disturbances, the two neighbours quickly become each other's biggest headache. But their little neighbourhood war takes an unexpected turn when Charlotte's event-planning business brings her into Alexander's professional world. Now, avoiding him is almost impossible. Alexander thinks money can solve every problem. Charlotte believes some men simply need to be told no. Neither is willing to surrender, and neither is prepared for what happens when irritation slowly turns into something neither can explain. She has her rules. He has his money. But what happens when the billionaire who has everything meets the one woman he cannot control? Sometimes, the person you can't stand becomes the person you can't stop thinking about.”
