Hate Me Gently, Then Love Me Loud

By Vishal Kumar Maurya

She stole his office. He stole her heart. Neither of them planned this.

Isla Reid walked into Mercer & Cole Publishing with a dream, a borrowed dress, and zero patience for difficult men. She did not walk in expecting Ethan Cole - brilliant, brooding, and infuriatingly off-limits - to become the most important person in her world.

Ethan hadn't smiled in years. He had rules, walls, and very good reasons for both. Isla had a habit of ignoring all three.

What begins as cold dismissal slowly becomes late nights, Post-it notes, and the terrifying realization that the man she argued with over manuscripts is the same one she can't stop thinking about.

But when a dream job offer arrives from New York - everything Isla ever wanted - the choice between ambition and love becomes the one edit neither of them knows how to make.

Hate Me Gently, Then Love Me Loud is a slow-burn, workplace enemies-to-lovers romance full of witty banter, literary charm, and the quiet courage it takes to say the thing before it's too late.

Perfect for fans of slow burn romance, office romance, and emotionally complex love stories.
