"I enjoyed this charming love story featuring a spunky protagonist with a secret past." – Pamela Fagan Hutchins, author of USA Best Book Award-winning What Doesn't Kill You mystery series and the Patrick Flint mystery series

He's Britain's uncatchable bachelor. She's trying not to get caught.

Lou Aucoin has carved out a simple life for herself in the charming town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Although it's an ocean away from her childhood home in New Orleans, Stratford offers something Louisiana doesn't: safety from the people her father wronged.

But an offer that Lou can't afford to refuse jeopardizes her life off the grid. In exchange for enough money to pay her sister's medical bills, Lou finds herself on a blind date with a man she hates, even though they've never met.

It turns out Kip Richmond, "Britain's uncatchable bachelor," is anything but easy to hate. Can Lou make room in her life for a man she claims to despise without ending up on tomorrow's front page?

Set against the delightful backdrop of Stratford-upon-Avon, She Hates Me Not blends heartwarming romance with mild suspense as Lou and Kip confront their troubled pasts in the hopes of loving again. It is first in the best-selling Richer in Love romance series, which can be enjoyed in any order.

Romance Heat Scale: Mild/PG. No detailed sex scenes, profanity, or graphic violence.
