What to expect
'The Love Haters made me laugh out loud and escape, just as her novels always do'
JODI PICOULT
Video producer Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past-now she may be lighting her career on fire. But her luck seems to change at last when her coworker Cole offers her a last-chance job filming Tom 'Hutch' Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West.
There are only two problems:
1. Katie can't swim-but she lies to Hutch that she can to get the job.
2. Cole is Hutch's brother. And they don't get along.
Next stop - paradise!
But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch and his eccentric family, she realises she's not the only who's been let down by love before.
Cue swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses - along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

PRAISE FOR NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER KATHERINE CENTER
'Katherine Center crafts rom-coms with pure unvarnished delight' CHRISTINA LAUREN, #1 bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
'My perfect 10 of a book. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Center's signature heart-tugging depth. I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. A shot of pure joy.'
EMILY HENRY, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers
'Serious Nora Ephron vibes.'
TAYLOR JENKINS REID, #1 bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
