It's a thin line between love and love-hating . . .
Join us Sunday, June 8th (6/8/25) at 6:00 PM to celebrate Katherine Center's newest release, The Love Haters.
IMPORTANT: This event may be ticketed. Ticket details will be announced shortly.
She thinks he hates love—and she probably does, too. How perfect.
Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past--now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole's request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom "Hutch" Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The catch? Katie's not exactly qualified. She can't swim--but pretends that she can.
Plus, Cole and Hutch are brothers. And they don't get along. Next stop: paradise! But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good-looking man she has ever seen . . . but maybe a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two. Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue--along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

About Katherine Center:
BookPage calls Katherine Center “the reigning queen of comfort reads,” and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult says, “Katherine Center is the balm we need in the world right now.” Katherine is the New York Times bestselling author of eleven novels, including The Bodyguard, Things You Save in a Fire, and her newest, THE ROM-COMMERS, an instant New York Times and USA Today bestseller. Her May 2025 book is The Love Haters. Katherine’s 2015 novel, Happiness for Beginners, is now a movie (starring Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes) that hit the Netflix’s Global Top 10 in 81 countries around the world. The movie adaptation of her novel The Lost Husband (starring Josh Duhamel) hit #1 on Netflix in 2020, made their Top 25 movies of the year, and was a Top 10 movie in over 30 countries. Katherine is a passionate advocate for the cultural value of love stories. She writes laugh-and-cry books about how life knocks us down and how we get back up—deep rom-coms full of wisdom that are half struggle and growth, and half love story. She’s been compared to both Jane Austen and Nora Ephron, and the Dallas Morning News calls her stories, “satisfying in the most soul-nourishing way.” Katherine holds degrees from Vassar College and the University of Houston’s Creative Writing Program and lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas, with her good-hearted husband, two almost-grown kids, and their fluffy-but-fierce dog.
