More Details

Ugly Love follows Tate Collins, a nursing student who moves in with her brother and meets his friend, Miles Archer, an airline pilot carrying deep emotional scars. From the beginning, the attraction between Tate and Miles is undeniable—but Miles makes two strict rules:

  1. Don’t ask about the past.

  2. Don’t expect a future.

What starts as a physical arrangement slowly becomes emotionally complicated as Tate finds herself wanting more than Miles is willing to give.

The novel unfolds through alternating timelines—Tate’s present-day perspective and Miles’ past. Through glimpses into Miles’ earlier life, readers uncover the heartbreaking events that changed him and shaped his fear of love. Hoover carefully reveals how grief, guilt, and unresolved pain can create emotional walls that seem impossible to break.

As their relationship deepens, Tate must decide whether loving someone who refuses to love back is worth the heartache. Meanwhile, Miles must confront the painful memories he has buried for years.

With intense chemistry, emotional vulnerability, and a powerful twist, Ugly Love explores the idea that love isn’t always pretty—it can be messy, painful, and complicated—but still worth fighting for.
