Better Hate than Never

Katerina Wilmot and Christopher Petruchio shared backyards as kids, but as adults they won't even share the same hemisphere. That is, until Kate makes a rare visit home - and their fiery animosity rekindles into a raging inferno. Despite their friends' and families' pleas for peace, Christopher is unconvinced Kate would willingly douse the flames of their enmity. But when Kate drunkenly confesses she's only been hostile because she thought he hated her, Christopher vows to make peace with her once and for all. Tempting as it is to be swept away by her nemesis-turned-gentleman, Kate isn't sure she can trust his charming good-guy act. When Christopher's persistence and Kate's curiosity lead to an impassioned kiss, they realise 'peace' is the last thing that will ever be possible between them. As desire gives way to deeper feelings, Kate and Christopher must decide if it's truly better to hate than to never risk their hearts - or if they already gave them away long ago.
