The Man I Hated by Scott Hildreth




"This one blew me away! To say this is my favorite thus far sounds cliche'...but it's amazing." - Pamela Simms, Reader Review


by Scott Hildreth

Braxton Rourke's cell phone number was included in the contacts of Hollywood's A-List actors and actresses, successful musicians, and professional athletes. When a problem arose, Braxton fixed it. Receiving an "I need help with--" text from Selena Gomez, Ryan Gosling--or the police--was a common occurrence. A well-dressed protector who appeared like an actor himself, he was sickeningly handsome, confident, and spoke with an educated authority.
I met him while settling the estate of my deceased parents. Enamored by his tailored Italian suit, bravado gait, and undeniable charisma, I suggested the unthinkable.

A one-night stand.

He agreed, but only because I was leaving in three days. His life, he explained, couldn't include a woman.

For the three days that followed, I watched him come and go, knowing we'd never be anything other than two people who shared a magical moment in the front seat of his Range Rover while parked outside a trendy Hollywood diner.

Then, the unthinkable happened.

A bizarre of series circumstances forced us to be neighbors.

I stumbled along the razor's edge that separated love from hate. Soon, I was bound to fall.

It was anyone's guess on which side I'd land.

The Man I Hate is a stand-alone full-length (90,000 word) novel with no cheating, no sex outside the relationship, no abuse, and an HEA. It depicts a friends to enemies to lovers relationship between two consenting adults. This is a very steamy contemporary romance novel. NOT recommended for juveniles, prudes, the close-minded, or the select few who enjoy seeing women treated like dirt. The romantic scenes in this book are smoking hot, but they're consensual.
