Ugly Love

About the book

Tate Collins moves into her brother’s apartment and immediately encounters Miles Archer, a pilot who refuses to engage in an emotional relationship. They establish a pact based on two strictly enforced rules: Tate cannot ask about Miles’s past, and she cannot expect a future together. As their physical arrangement continues, the narrative alternates between Tate’s present struggle and flashbacks to Miles’s high school tragedy six years earlier. These memories reveal the specific trauma that dictates his current inability to love.

Readers of contemporary romance who prefer heavy emotional weight over lighthearted tropes will find this story suited to their interests. It serves those looking for a depiction of how unresolved grief prevents new intimacy. The reader observes the mechanics of a "no-strings" agreement failing under the pressure of hidden history. Ultimately, the book provides a look at the transition from guarding one's isolation to pursuing the vulnerability required for a committed partnership.
