The Hate-cute: Hate started it. Love complicated it.

By Vaidehi Singh

This isn't a meet-cute. It's a meet-uh oh

Myla Vasquez didn't come to college looking for trouble.

Trouble found her anyway-

riding a Ducati,

answering to Zane King,

smirking like a bad decision he knows you'll make.

Which would be fine-

if he weren't her brother's sworn ENEMY

Finding him attractive was careless.

Kissing him was a mistake.

But letting it turn into a secret relationship-

bike rides, annotated books, moments where old hurts go quiet?

That was criminal.

Incredibly hot

But criminal.

Myla isn't just caught between two boys

who would rather destroy each other than accept defeat-

she's the fault line.

The one who'll feel every fracture first.

The question is-

will she break by choice?

Or was she meant to break from the start?

Ideal for readers of: Ana Huang, Elle Kennedy, Lauren Asher, Chloe Walsh, Lynn Painter-style relationship intensity, with the comfort-chaos energy of rival houses, secret dating, loyalty vs love stakes, grovelling and grand confessions that will get you annotating every page.
