Covey U Book 3
Hate Me
She's fighting to save the house that holds all her memories. Her arrogant quarterback neighbor belongs to the family determined to destroy it.
Available in
The Blurb ♡
Hayden Rickards was supposed to be gone.
New school. New hair. New identity.
At Covey U, she's Denise "Denny" Reynolds—the quiet transfer student nobody knows and nobody is supposed to recognize. After the betrayal that destroyed her reputation and forced her out of her old college, disappearing feels safer than fighting to reclaim the girl she used to be.
Then she walks into a Halloween party and finds Adam Hartley.
Her childhood best friend.
Her greatest regret.
The boy who loved her from the sidelines while she chased someone determined to ruin them both.
Adam has spent four years trying to forget Hayden. Now he's Covey U's star wide receiver, an NFL prospect, and finally attempting to move on—with Hayden's new roommate.
But red hair and green contacts can't fool the boy who has known her since they were ten.
When Adam realizes Denny is the girl who shattered his heart, he wants answers. The more he learns about what happened after she disappeared, however, the harder it becomes to hold on to his anger.
Hayden doesn't need Adam to rescue her. She needs to reclaim her name, her voice, and the future that was stolen from her.
Adam intends to make sure she never has to fight alone.
Because he missed his best friend.
He missed the girl he always loved.
And this time, he refuses to let her disappear.
Miss Me is a steamy, emotional second-chance college-football romance featuring childhood best friends, a hidden identity, high-school flashbacks, healing after trauma, and a hero who never stopped loving his girl. It is Book 2 in the Covey U series and can be enjoyed as a standalone.
