Loathing Ryan

Ryan Miller.
Heartthrob of Bennet High School Prep.
The untouchable king at the top of the food chain.
What does Izabel Sanders know him as? The bane of her existence.
For as long as he recalled, he had always reveled in making Izabel Sanders' life a living hell. Their rivalry intensified each summer, and his pranks were designed to humiliate her at every turn. But once their senior year was upon them, something shifted.
Beneath the bravado and the casual heartlessness, he found himself inexplicably drawn to Izabel’s fierce intellect and resilience. The more he observed her determination to survive their final summer together, the more he realized there was depth for her that he had never acknowledged. But pride ran deep, and Ryan struggled to reconcile his feelings with the animosity he had cultivated over the years…especially to the one girl he was supposed to hate.

Izabel Sanders
Future valedictorian of Hawthorne Academy.
The prestigious and studious student who cannot be beaten. 
What does Ryan Miller know her as? The geeky nerd and target of his reluctant teasing.
For three whole years, she had long ago resolved to endure her last summer at camp without letting Ryan get under her skin. The thought of facing him again was unbearable, especially after their history of clashes.
Yet, her resolve began to crumble when a storm stranded them together in the wilderness.
Isolated from the world, she discovered layers to Ryan that contradicted the bully she had known.
His vulnerability surprised her, revealing a young man, just like her, burdened by expectations and ambition. As they navigated the challenges of survival, Izabel found herself grappling with emotions she never anticipated. Perhaps, beneath the crown of the school’s king, a kindred spirit existed waiting to break free.
