To Hate Adam Connor
by Maise, Ella
Ivy Emerson has spent years carefully curating her life, but when she lands a dream job, she finds herself directly in the orbit of Adam Connor. He is the man who broke her heart years ago, and he is everything she tries to avoid: arrogant, infuriating, and undeniably magnetic. Their reunion is not the smooth reconciliation of a classic romance; it is a collision of unresolved resentment and simmering, long-buried attraction. The story moves at a deliberate pace, allowing you to feel every ounce of their friction as they navigate the professional boundaries they are forced to share. If you enjoy romances where the stakes feel deeply personal and the dialogue is laced with the kind of sharp, defensive banter that only two people with a shared history can pull off, this book will keep you tethered to the page.
