Leighton River Series
They were raised to hate each other. So why can’t they stop falling?
In the small town of Leighton River, there’s no escaping your last name, or the grudges it carries.
Natalie Spencer knows exactly who Dalton Wick is: arrogant, infuriating, and the son of her family’s oldest rival. From childhood pranks to high school hallway glares, they’ve perfected the art of mutual loathing.
But when a senior-year project forces them to work side by side, cracks start to show in the wall they’ve built between them. Beneath Dalton’s smirk is someone unexpectedly kind. And behind Natalie’s sharp words lies a heart she’s fought to keep guarded.
The more time they spend together, the more the old rules don’t make sense. Their families would never approve. Their friends wouldn’t understand. And the risk of heartbreak is almost guaranteed.
Yet in stolen glances and late-night conversations, Natalie begins to wonder: Was it ever truly hate… or has it been something else all along?
If you love enemies-to-lovers chemistry, small-town drama, and slow-burn romance with heart-melting payoffs, How We Hated will have you swooning, laughing, and turning pages late into the night.
We’re just friends, is the biggest lie we’ve ever told ourselves.
Maya
Everyone assumes I’ll end up with Ben Turner.
That’s the trouble with living in a small town. There’s no such thing as privacy.
No one understands that we’ve been in the friend zone our entire life.
But what I’m having trouble understanding these days is why Ben hates my new boyfriend. It’s almost like he’s trying to ruin my relationship.
So, what’s a girl supposed to do when her best friend is standing between her and her happily ever after?
Ben
I promised to always protect Maya.
And if that means keeping the jerks in town away from her, so be it. She deserves better anyway.
But she thinks this new guy is the one. She’s wrong. He’s not good enough for her.
Hell, I’m not good enough for her.
So, when he lets her down—and I know he will—I’ll be there. I’ll do whatever she needs.
Because I’m not about to let anyone ruin my relationship with the most important person in my life.

Liza
After moving to the small town of Mason Creek, I meet the perfect man.
He’s everything I’ve ever wanted—sweet, sexy, protective.
I fall for him fast and hard.
Then, I find out he’s a senior in high school.
And he’s one of my students.
I should walk away. Being with him could burn my life to the ground.
Trouble is, I’m starting to think it might be worth it …
Eli
I don’t have time for romance. Between school and sports, I’m too busy.
Until I meet her.
I know I’m younger than her. I know student-teacher relationships are forbidden.
But none of that matters when I’m with Liza.
Soon, I’ll be a professional baseball player, and the tiny age gap between us won’t mean anything.
We’ll have our happily ever after.
Assuming I can keep the disapproving world from breaking us apart first …
