Sage Ryker is every girl’s fantasy. And my nightmare. He’s not used to being told no. He thinks I’m just playing hard to get. But really, I hate everything the rich, cocky, so-hot-it-hurts wide receiver represents. Just when I think things couldn’t get any worse, we’re forced to live together: to be roommates. It’s immediately clear that we’re two opposites that will more likely destroy each other than attract. Then a heated argument unexpectedly leaves us face to face and lips to lips. After that, everything changes. But not for the better. Because with Sage Ryker, love might be more dangerous than hate.

My game plan for the last semester of college? Stay away from Noah Brighton. “Make a plan and hear fate laugh” – that’s what they say. Well, fate must be laughing when our professor makes us study partners. And she must be cracking up when I’m forced to ask Noah the one thing I never dreamed I’d ask … Noah Brighton’s got it all. Looks. Success. Popularity. Looks. A campus full of women tripping over themselves to get to him. Soon, guaranteed millions of dollars as a football star. Did I mention looks? And for years, he’s been chasing after me like I’m a live ball. Most girls would be ecstatic. Me? I have no interest in being just another unread message on his phone the day after. Too bad an out of context picture posted on Instagram and an argument with my family drive me to the unthinkable: asking Noah to be my fake boyfriend. It's just for one weekend. Then I can go back to giving him the cold shoulder. But once I’m forced to get to know him, the big man on campus with the square jaw and ocean-blue eyes turns out to be a lot deeper than I expected – and I might be in over my head.

Let’s play two truths and a lie. Knox Delton broke my heart. I hate Knox Delton with every fiber of my being. I never want to see Knox Delton again. Can you spot the lie? Everyone at Alton University knows about Knox Delton: the gorgeous, bad boy Tight End with a body built for sin and a taste for living dangerously. They call him a tornado, because he’s a wild, out-of-control force who creates chaos wherever he goes. But I know that’s not what he really is – he’s a fire, scorching everything he touches to ash. I know, because I’ve already been burned. Before Knox Delton was the Knox Delton. The broken heart he left me with four years ago has yet to fully heal. I’ve tried to keep my distance since then, but this year a major wrench gets thrown in my stay-away-from-Knox plans: he’s my next-door neighbor. They very last thing I ever wanted. At least, that’s what I told myself. I feel myself drawn to his flame again. Everyone knows if you play with fire, you get burned. But I already have my scars. What’s the worst that can happen if I reach into the flames one more time? I guess I’m about to find out. Hate You Still is a standalone, 50k-word enemies-to-lovers sports romance with lots of drama, lots of heat, and a heart-warming happy ever after!
