The Love Haters – A Laugh-Out-Loud, Feel-Good Rom-Com by Katherine Center

💕 Love, Lies & a Career on the Line—Welcome to the Wildest Ride in Key West!

From New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center comes The Love Haters, a hilarious, swoon-worthy rom-com about second chances, overcoming fears, and the fine line between love and love hating.

She Can’t Swim. He’s a Rescue Swimmer. This Should Go Well…

Katie Vaughn has been burned by love, and now she might be torching her career too. With her job as a video producer on the line, she has two choices:

🎥 Wait to get laid off
🌊 Take the assignment of a lifetime—profiling Coast Guard rescue swimmer Tom "Hutch" Hutcheson

The problem? She can’t swim. But she definitely lets everyone think she can.

And there’s one more catch—Hutch is the estranged brother of her coworker, Cole, and the two have a rocky past.

Next Stop: Paradise (With a Side of Chaos!)

As Katie arrives in Key West, she quickly learns that Hutch is not just the most ridiculously good-looking man she’s ever met—but maybe also a total love hater. Yet, as she gets tangled in his world—his eccentric Aunt Rue, his rescue Great Dane, his undeniable charm—she realizes she’s also tangled in a few lies of her own.

🏊‍♀️ Swim lessons she didn’t sign up for
🚁 Helicopter rescues & adrenaline-fueled adventures
💃 Conga lines, drinking contests & unexpected hurricanes
🔥 Stolen kisses & undeniable chemistry

But when Katie’s truth starts unraveling, she must decide: will she run from love again, or finally take the plunge?
