Hate Me Like You Care

COMING JUNE 1

This small-town country girl isn’t innocent, but she’s never known a man like Becks before.

BECKS
I was innocent.
Or as innocent as a bystander on the wrong side of the law can be. But when the victim is the son of the Mayor and the Chief of Police in a small Kansas town—innocence becomes a technicality.
I paid the price, and at twenty-five, I’ve remained in Ellbury as a promise to the brother who never abandoned me, but trouble stays close.
When the law catches up, an unlikely benefactor offers me a deal: free labor in exchange for staying out from behind bars.
The problem? My benefactor is a father figure to the victim of our crime. And he has a daughter who won’t stay out of my mind.

RANDI
I was eleven when Becks Jacoby was an accomplice in the attack on my brother’s best friend. Now he’s working on my family’s ranch. He’s crass and grumpy and every country girl’s fantasy.
It’s been nine years,
I hate everything he did to my family.
I hate everything he did to Lincoln.
But the longer he’s around, the less I hate HIM.

A standalone spin-off of the Backroads Duet, this small-town romance is perfect for fans of stories with enemies-to-lovers, alpha heroes, and slow burn. Buckle up, Hate Me Like You Care is one wild ride.
