The (Hate) Love Bet
(2026)(The first book in the Sunshine Pier Love Stories series)
A novel by Sierra Lewis
She believes in love at first sight.
He believes in prenups at second glance.
Connor is a divorce attorney with a flawless track record—and zero faith in happily-ever-after.
To him, marriage is just a legal loophole for tax breaks and green cards. Attraction and chemistry? Sure. Soulmates and dream girls? Absolute nonsense. Just like the ridiculous matchmaking agency that just moved in a few doors down from his office—promising true love and fairy tales. Its founder? A too-perky, way-too-mouthy psychologist who drives him crazy with every smirk and smug remark.
Rachel is a couples therapist, body and soul.
And arrogant cynics like Connor, who believe in money and muscle more than emotions, make her want to scream into a throw pillow. Or hit them with her clipboard. Relationships are meant to be saved, not tossed aside. Compatibility can be measured, real love can be predicted—and her self-developed dating app proves it. If she has to, she'll show that infuriatingly attractive lawyer exactly how wrong he is... the hard way.
When sparks fly and tempers flare, there’s only one way to settle the score:
One bet.
Two rivals.
Zero chance of staying out of each other’s business—or their beds.
The odds of both losing their minds … and hearts?
One hundred percent.
Genre: Romance
