Hate Kisses
Living With Red Flags – Book 1

Maya Singh has three rules for surviving Briarwood

Keep your scholarship.

Keep your midnight radio show.

Absolutely, under no circumstances, kiss a hockey boy.

Liam Hayes makes that last one…difficult.

He’s everything she can’t stand about campus legends—captain of the Briarwood hockey team, adored by the crowd, coasting on talent and charm. She’s the broke overachiever juggling classes, tutoring, and a brain that never stops doing worst-case scenarios.

When a housing disaster forces Maya into an off-campus house with three hockey players, she’s ready to transfer on sight—especially when she realizes one of them is him. The guy she just roasted on her show for being the face of “toxic campus priorities.”

He hears the clip.
He’s not amused.
And then he fails statistics.

Now the campus golden boy needs the loudmouth radio girl to pass his class, keep his eligibility, and hold onto the C on his jersey. She needs the extra tutoring money to stay in school. Neither of them needs the way tutoring sessions turn into late-night arguments in the kitchen, shared secrets, and that one almost-kiss that feels like a very bad idea.

In a house where walls are thin and tempers are high, enemies start to look a lot like something else. But falling for your roommate—and your client—is the kind of red flag Maya can’t afford. Not with her future on the line and the whole campus watching.

Hate Kisses is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers college hockey romance

forced roommates

sharp banter and soft underbellies

late-night tutoring and accidental vulnerability

one very ill-advised kiss that changes everything

Book 1 in Living With Red Flags follows Maya and Liam from “absolutely not” to “maybe just once,” and sets the stage for all the secrets, scandals, and second chances to come.
