The Hate Date is a sweltering, standalone, billionaire, enemies to lovers, age gap, forced proximity, workplace, HEA romance. Convinced she's entangled in the corrupt dealings of her ex-husband, who also happens to be my nemesis, I have one goal: expose Clover Callahan.

Within those confined walls, I discover Clover’s innocence—she’s as much a victim of her ex-husband’s schemes as anyone else. Realizing my grave error, and faced with the undeniable chemistry between us, I scramble to mend the rift my accusations caused. Determined to win back her trust and turn our spark into a flame, I concoct a series of "hate dates."
