Like You Hate Me by Bethany Winters (Paperback)

The day his sister died changed everything. Grief turned into anger, and anger turned into hatred directed at the one person he blamed most: her best friend. Cutting him out of his life felt like the only way to survive the loss, and he never expected to see him again.

Two years later, that promise is shattered.

On the eve of freshman year at Hawthorne University, the last person he wants to see arrives on his doorstep with news that changes everything. They’re going to be living together. Forced back into each other’s lives, old wounds are ripped open and unresolved feelings refuse to stay buried. Every interaction is charged with resentment, guilt, and the painful memories they both carry.

As a rising college basketball star, he should be focused on his future and the expectations placed upon him. Instead, his attention becomes consumed by the person he cannot forgive and cannot seem to ignore. Their shared history creates an intense push and pull, where anger and obsession blur into something far more complicated. Neither of them is willing to let go of the past, and every confrontation pushes them closer to emotions they don’t fully understand.

Set within the world of college sports and emotional turmoil, Like You Hate Me is a dark MM romance about grief, blame, and the messy reality of reconnecting with someone tied to your deepest pain. Through forced proximity and unresolved feelings, two people must confront the past they share and the complicated bond that still exists between them.

Perfect for readers who enjoy dark MM romance, enemies-to-lovers stories, college settings, sports romance, forced proximity, and emotionally intense relationships filled with angst and obsession.
