I have a new story releasing October 12.  Between Loathing and Love is an enemies to lovers type story.  This trope is one that speaks deeply to me for some reason.  Maybe its because I was one of the kids who was picked on in high school.  Enemies seemed around every corner sometimes.  That was high school   And I like to think that while high school shouldn’t define us, it can color parts of our lives well after graduation.   However one thing that I really wanted to explore was that what seems real in school may be our own perceptions and the way we see things not necessarily based in fact.  One man’s slight isn’t necessarily meant to be mean or a slight, just an innocent situation that got out of hand.

As we travel through life, we all have opportunities to either leave our past behind or continue to live in it.  I know which path I’d like to think I’d choose.  What about you?

Theatrical agent Payton Gowan meets with former classmate—and prospective client—Beckett Huntington with every intention of brushing him off. Beckett not only made high school a living hell for Payton, but he was also responsible for dashing Payton’s dreams of becoming a Broadway star.

Aspiring actor Beckett Huntington arrives in New York City on a wing and a prayer, struggling to land his first gig. He knows scoring Payton Gowan as an agent would be a great way to get his foot in the door, but with their history, getting the chance is going to be a tough sell.

Against Payton’s better judgment, he agrees to give Beckett a chance, only to discover—to his amazement—that Beckett actually does have talent.

Payton signs Beckett but can’t trust him—until Payton’s best friend, Val, is attacked. When Beckett is there for him, Payton begins to see another side to his former bully. Amidst attempts by a jealous agent to sabotage Beckett’s career and tear apart their blossoming love, Payton and Beckett must learn to let go of the past if they have any chance at playing out a future together.
