There really is a fine line between love and hate. Friends and enemies.
Max Palmer is an a-hole.
And Iβm in love with him. Iβm pretty sure I have been since the day we met.
Iβve tried to quit him. Multiple times. But heβs an addiction that refuses to be ignored. Which is why one minute weβre together, colliding with hurricane force, and the next weβre pushing each other away, pretending not to like each other. Fighting the feelings that are bubbling just beneath the surface.
For years weβve been able to hide our secret love affair from everyone.
Iβm tired of lying to myself about the way I feel.
Of hiding the truth from the people that matter most to me. Even if I know they wonβt approve. Even if my confession may destroy friendships in the process.
Iβm also pissed off because he started dating one of my sisters. The same night I was ready to confess my feelings for him.
If he was looking to get a rise out of me, it worked.
Iβve wasted years with him. Lying and pretending I was happily single, focused on school so no one would suspect otherwise.
And how does he repay me?
By shoving his new relationship in my face.
Well, screw him. Iβm not wasting another minute of my time crying over a man who was never really mine to begin with.
If he wants to play games, itβs on.
Because I donβt plan to lose my heart to Max Palmer.


Rachael Brownell is an International Bestselling author of new adult romance.
She lives in Michigan with her husband, son, snuggly dog, and hateful cat. She moonlights a few days a week (her excuse to get out of the house and socialize) and writes almost full time. Her first book was published way back in 2013 and since sheβs released more than 30 additional titles.
When sheβs not writing her next novel, you can find her hanging out with her family, watching her son play baseball, or running on the treadmill at the gym (though she skips more days than she goes). She also enjoys golfing but is still learning, so if you see her on the courseβ¦ stand back.
