Hateful Ride

Faircoast's MagicWorld theme park is on the edge of bankruptcy, and for Jade Allington it's not just an inheritance — it's home. She's willing to do whatever it takes to save it, even if that means working alongside Kit Martínez, her father's newest and most infuriating hire.

Jade and Kit clash constantly, unable to agree on anything — except, increasingly, the pull between them neither wants to admit to. What Jade doesn't know is that Kit is actually Sam, and he came to Faircoast with one goal: to destroy the park and, by extension, her family.

Hateful Ride is the first half of Vanessa-Sophie Peks's Faircoast duology, an enemies-to-lovers New Adult romance built around forced proximity and a slow-building reveal, followed by its sequel, Lovely Ride.
