HATE ME, TAKE ME
They say there’s a thin line between love and hate, and in the case of these couples, we’re talking razor thin!
In this hate-to-love duet by Clare James, two couples cross that dangerous line…more than once!
Hate Me
Falling for your sister’s nemesis? Only a low-life dog would do something like that, right? And that ain’t me, not anymore. I’m trying to be a stand-up guy—finally making
smart decisions, helping my little sister, and getting my shit
together. For once, things are finally going my way.
smart decisions, helping my little sister, and getting my shit
together. For once, things are finally going my way.
Until Jenna shows up. As soon as I meet her, I know she’s the enemy. I’ve heard enough to understand that she’s off limits. Banned. Forbidden. But when she moves in next door, it’s impossible to stay away, and I soon discover she’s not as bad as
everyone says. Of course, she’s difficult, selfish, and a royal pain in the
ass, but she’s also gorgeous, smart, kind, and…well, let’s just say I am that
low-life dog. Traitor. Turncoat. And the world’s shittiest brother. Woof.
Woof.

Take Me
It’s an offer I can’t refuse…He was my best friend. He is my current enemy. Yet he wants me and I want him.
And since we’re both stuck in our hometown unattached, we agree to a truce.
And since we’re both stuck in our hometown unattached, we agree to a truce.
Two hours, once a week, no strings attached. But what sounds like the
perfect arrangement, turns into so much more…yet not nearly enough.

bonus content.

Excerpt
“Jenna,” he said with more force this time. “Look at me.”
I flashed my gaze up to him and then back down, quickly.
It wasn’t enough for him. He placed a finger under my chin
and tipped my face up to his so I had no choice this time. His eyes were soft,
but intense. Not quite black as they were before, but they were dilated, and
his lids were slightly hooded. It made me wonder what my eyes looked like to
him in the moment. Were they giving me away? Could he see that he had broken
through the wall that not many people had? Did he know how desperately I wanted
him to stay? Could he tell I needed his touch?

Did he know he was dealing with a completely sex-starved,
socially awkward, recluse?

The corner of his mouth quirked up just then, and I thought
yes, maybe he did know.

“Thank you for dinner,” he said as my eyes tore away from
his and focused on his mouth. He licked his bottom lip, and the flickers
flashed in my stomach again. Sparks working toward a flame.

I nodded, unable to find my words when he was invading my
space.

His lips moved closer to my face, and I swallowed, bracing
myself.
myself.
My throat went try. My hands shook. And that flame took hold
inside me. I didn’t want to wait for him. I wanted to kill the daylight between
our bodies while my hands tangled in his hair. I wanted to know what he tasted
like. There was so much I wanted, but in the end, I couldn’t do any of those
things.

“I know you thought I was afraid to be alone with you, but
just so you know,” he said with a ragged breath that I felt from the top of my
scalp all the way down to my toes, “I’m not afraid of anything.”

He pressed his lips on my cheek, and then he was gone.
