[image error]the Trouble with Hate is… is my fourth novel, to be released by Sleeping Dragon Books on 23 February 2018.
the Trouble with Hate is… is a novel about family and love that discusses suicide and depression, and it’s effects on the sufferers and the ones they love. While the characters are young adults, the material is best suited to Mature Young Adult or New Adult readers.
The Granger and Drake families have always lived in each other’s pockets. They’ve been through the suicide of the Granger’s oldest son, the Drake patriarch’s cancer diagnosis, family holidays with only slight maiming, and more dance concerts than anyone would care to remember.
Leilani Granger can’t stand the person Casper Drake has become, and Casper doesn’t even recognise his best mate’s little sister anymore. Loving each other is second-nature, but they don’t know how not to hate each other either.
As they face another crisis, old habits lead them back to each other for comfort.
But, after one night of a deeper connection than either of them were ready for, the lines between the emotional and the physical start to blur.
Leilani wasn’t the kind to lose herself in meaningless sex.
Casper’s been doing it for years.
It’s the only time hate doesn’t get in the way.
But, the trouble with hate is…it’s often not hate at all.
