A ruthless billionaire. A college student. An old family rivalry. When she must work for him to repay a debt, they discover there’s a thin line between love and hate—but will they cross it? They say there’s a thin line between love and hate. I always believed that was nonsense. Until it happened to me. My whole life until now has been lived under a cloud. When I was a child, my father stood up to the wealthy tycoon ruining our small town with unsafe mining practices—but when the mining stopped, all the townsfolk could see was the loss of jobs. My family bore the community’s anger. Outcast, I had few friends growing up and even fewer prospects for my future. Twenty years later, when Sinclair Whittier, son of said tycoon, funds an expensive upgrade to equipment at our community college, I should have stayed very far away. But I’m going to school so I can leave this town forever and take my now ailing father with me. As TA for the dean of nursing, I’m in Sinclair’s crosshairs. He’s handsome, to be sure, with a confidence that makes my knees buckle—but I hate him for who he is and what his family has done to mine. And I quickly learn he feels the same way about me. When the new simulation lab is destroyed under my watch—the lab that Sinclair funded—I am at his mercy. To pay for the damages, I am forced to leave my home, my father, all that I know to work for him as a servant in his mansion until every dime is paid off. I hate him even more for taking me away from my father who needs me now more than ever. And I plan to make him regret his decision. We thought we hated each other. But getting to know him makes it hard to hold those old grudges, and I’d have to be blind not to realize that, as many scars as I carry, his are more in number and far deeper. It isn’t long before I discover that thin line—but only after I’ve already crossed it.
