A breezy tale perfect for a day at the beach, this one's a real winner.

Sally Thorne lives in Canberra, Australia, and spends her days writing funding submissions and drafting contracts, so it's not surprising that after hours she climbs into colorful fictional worlds of her own creation. Sally believes that romance readers are always searching for intensity in their next favorite book, and it isn't always so easy to find. The Hating Game is her first novel.

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. And they have no problems displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive-aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company.
