Hate The One You're With
(2024)(The fourth book in the Happily Ever Mishaps series)
A novel by Kendall Hale
Hate The One You’re With is a fiery second-chance sizzling romance in which two former spouses are forced back into each other's lives—whether they like it or not.
My grandmother always had a flair for drama and was a master manipulator.
At eighteen, I was forced to marry so I could pay my college tuition. Enter Caleb Cunningham: my best friend’s brother and a hot Navy SEAL.
I needed my inheritance, his family needed money to cover his dad’s hospital bills. At the time, it seemed like a win-win—two acquaintances just helping each other out.
The marriage didn’t last, but that’s okay. It was a marriage of convenience, nothing more.
At least, that’s what I told myself.
Over a decade later, Grandma’s still pulling the strings from beyond the grave.
Her last wish? For me to live with my estranged husband for six months, or I lose everything—my company and my employees’ livelihoods included.
Now, I’m stuck with Caleb, the rugged, infuriating, and the man who once broke my heart. The deal is simple: he’ll stay with me for the next six months as long as I give him... well, everything.
He wants control.
He wants my grandmother’s penthouse.
And, of course, he wants the Bentley.
Caleb seems determined to make my life hell, and he’s enjoying every minute of it.
But if he thinks I’m going down without a fight, he’s got another thing coming. It takes two to make a marriage, and it’ll take two to crash it into the ground.
