The Love Haters
Published on: May 20, 2025
The Love Haters by Katherine Center is a smart, feel-good rom-com about second chances, sun-soaked lies, and learning to swim—in water and in love.
Katie Vaughn is stuck in a dead-end job and nursing an old heartbreak when she’s offered a career-changing assignment: film a profile on Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a heroic Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The only problem? She can’t swim... and Hutch is her coworker’s estranged brother.
What begins as a fake-it-’til-you-make-it job turns into something much deeper. Between stolen kisses, wild adventures, a hurricane or two, and a very charming Great Dane, Katie starts to confront her fears—and maybe even open her heart again.
Packed with humor, heart, and beachy escapism, The Love Haters is perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Christina Lauren. It's a laugh-out-loud story of love, lies, and finding your way back to the truth.
