A Tale of Two Hearts
Dating You / Hating You follows the tumultuous journey of Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman, two executives at a publishing house who find themselves in a constant state of animosity. Lucy, the ambitious and organized editor, and Joshua, the arrogant and charming CEO, clash at every turn, their rivalry fueled by a mixture of professional competition and undeniable chemistry.
As their forced proximity intensifies, Lucy and Joshua's initial hatred gradually morphs into something more nuanced. They discover common ground in their shared passion for literature and a hidden vulnerability beneath their tough exteriors. Despite their best efforts to suppress their growing feelings, the attraction between them becomes undeniable.
Love and Hate Intertwined
The novel's central theme revolves around the complex interplay of love and hate. Lucy and Joshua's relationship is a constant push-and-pull, as their mutual animosity fuels their attraction and vice versa.

"I hate you," she whispered, her voice trembling. "But I also love you. And I don't know how to do either one without the other."
