What I Hate About You

What I Hate About You

Autumn Ferris

“Every hate hides a love too dangerous to forget.”

Susan believes the cold is the safest place to hide a bruised past. In the wide silence of Alaska, she builds a life that feels calm, controlled, and carefully distant. Then Xavier crashes into her world, all sharp edges, quiet intensity, and a presence that refuses to be ignored. Beneath the northern lights and endless snow, sparks fly where neither expects them. Attraction grows alongside unspoken truths, and every shared moment feels both thrilling and dangerous. They circle each other with humor, heat, and hesitation, drawn together by something deeper than fear. But frozen hearts crack loudly, and some secrets burn hotter than the cold. When survival demands honesty, can connection survive the thaw?

“Merry Christmas, my love,” He said, caressing my tangled locks.
