Happy Friday.
Today, the wonderful author Francesca Penn is revealing the cover for her upcoming release, Love You… Never. I must confess, we LOVE it and can’t wait to read this story!
Two potential soulmates.
One misunderstanding.
Twelve years of war.
Emiliano
I loved Caris Vaughn from the moment I saw her. Senior year of high school, I vowed to make her mine on Valentine’s Day. Armed with a note that bared my soul, I ordered her a dozen red roses to be sent to her during our class. When she rejected me, it cut as deep as the thorns on the roses she threw at me. I swore that my former love would be my new enemy. I don’t care that seeing her after over a decade still has the power to rev up my heart. I don’t care that she’s sexier. I don’t care that she looks damn good in the lingerie she sells. I still hate her…I think.
Caris
I used to want Emiliano, but when he sent me the meanest note I’d ever received, I prayed he would go away forever. Twelve years later, my desire to expand my lingerie company has brought him back into my life. Now, the man I hate the most is also the one I need, professionally. His verbal jabs cut deep, so it doesn’t matter that his light-brown eyes still haunt me. His lips dare me to kiss them, and his body makes me melt. I will not fall for Emiliano Morin, right?
When their heated arguments ignite their latent desires, they decide that there’s only one way to move on from the past.
Hate sex.

“Last question…”
“Last question,” I repeat, signaling the end of this uncomfortable conversation.
“You wouldn’t lose your shit if I said Caris Vaughn?”
All my cells freeze. My eye twitches. My blood rages. Every petty fiber in my being moves to the surface. Okay, I’m not in the bygone phase by a longshot.
“Don’t ever say that evil lunatic’s name to me again,” I snap at my good friend for the first time in our years of friendship. Just now, I wonder if I should find a way to stop hating that bitch. But every time I think of her, rage coats me like hot fudge. “Why are you asking me about that psychopath anyway?”
“Because, you are currently sitting in this evil, psychopathic lunatic’s conference room. That’s why, Emily.”
Blood disappears from my veins, leaving me cold. Hers is the last voice I’d ever expected to hear again. She floated into my view looking equal parts demonic and beautiful. I’d hoped I would see her and realize she wasn’t as pretty as I thought. Or, she’d at least be married to no one special and look haggard from taking care of her kids by herself. No such luck. Instead she owns a damn lingerie company.
Caris’ smooth, brown skin glows like it always has. Her face is framed with wavy black hair that falls just past her shoulders. Her lightly glossed lips are pulled into grim line, and her hateful gaze is adorned with thick lashes. She had a successful transition from a pretty girl to a knockout of a woman. My scowl deepens and my hate for her intensifies I do not want to be attracted to the spawn of Satan.
