Hate to Love

Contemporary

"Megan Flannigan wants only two things in life: to run her bakery The Rise and Shine, and to avoid the handsome and insufferable Officer Caleb Thornton. Caleb has made her life difficult ever since he arrested her over a decade ago, and her one wish is that he leaves her alone—while they both continue to deny the attraction that sparks between them every time they meet. Her wishes are dashed when her bakery is robbed. To make matters worse? Caleb is assigned to the case—and now he’s the officer charged to protect Megan from a dangerous criminal. Caleb Thornton decided to become a police officer to atone for a tragic adolescent mistake. As part of the famously rich and privileged Thornton family, he’s always been aware of how he can never measure up to his family’s expectations. As a result, he follows the letter of the law in both his job and his personal life—except when it comes to the beautiful and fiery Megan. She makes him yearn for something more, and she attracts him as much as she frustrates him. When Caleb is assigned to watch over Megan, he’s forced to reconcile the feelings he’s harbored for her for years. But as danger draws closer to Fair Haven, Megan and Caleb must come to grips with the past—or risk losing the love of a lifetime."

BELLA’S POV

This is not what she had wanted for herself, she was very worried because she knew what kind of man her Fiancé to be was going to be like, just from hearing the Rumours and stories about him.

Even though she has never met him, she knew What he did and how ruthless he was, she heard he was exactly like her dangerous father, Her Dad was a hard headed man, Even though he has always loved her and her older brother siblings she still knew how Evil he could be to other people.

But Knowing her father, she knew he had arranged this Marriage knowing she would be safe with a dangerous and protected Man for a Husband. Mixing her Family and her Fiancé's family will form a blood alliance upon their marriage making both families stronger than ever before.

But she was just a quiet shy girl who was unfortunately or fortunately born in a dangerous Mafia family full of people whose characters where nothing like hers, her family was full of Mind game players and killers.

So when she had been told she was arranged to be Married the shock she felt was unexplainable, she was only 22 and not ready for Marriage at all, Her mother had to explain and convince her that she will be fine and told her how it was always meant to be like this because she was the only girl in the family, with her other two siblings being Male.

Her mother convinced her and explained that she was doing something big for the Family with this Marriage arrangement. This was going to be very New to Bella, She has lived a sheltered and protected life ever since she was born. From private school lessons,to Online university, thank goodness she had been born intelligent but she has always been sheltered her whole life.

She has not Met alot of outsiders in her life, its always been pretty boring but she still liked it that way because she was pretty introverted. So now she couldn’t imagine the Chaos of leaving her home and starting a new life especially becoming a wife, how crazy is that.

Thats why she was standing In front of her big dressing room mirror looking anxiously at her self wondering if the guy was going to like her ? Will he like the way she looks ? will he accept her ? is she beautiful enough to be someone’s Wife.

She knew his name was Luca and his dad had always been one of her dads friend and they did their dirty Mafia Businesses together, she had met the Dad before he passed away but she has never seen the Son. And that was going to Change today because they were getting introduced in person at their engagement in a few hours.

When she had been told this news her favourite cousin Claire had shown her his picture and in Shock, they were so different to each other, just the mental image of the way he looks makes her shiver, how was she supposed to stand in front of a man who looked like that, He is the reason she is in front of this mirror contemplating whether a guy like that would even like her.

Luca is 26 years old, he is 4 years older than her and from the pictures she has seen he is very Handsome it hurts her heart to think that maybe he was going to reject and treat her badly in their marriage.

He has the most beautiful grey eyes, She was even shy just looking at his picture how will she be able to look at him in person,with her being the shy girl that she is and worse she is not used to being around people and now she is getting married to him.

Its Unfair, what if he treats her like a joke?.

"what are you mumbling about? you look like you might pass out any minute", her cousin Claire asked her as she walks into her room and laid down on Bella's bed.

Claire's whole family and close relatives were all expected today at her House for the engagement and wedding which will be happening in the coming weeks.

"Do you think he will like me?, Bella asks her cousin, “I don't even like myself that much, and with the way he looks, he is too much for a girl like me, he deserves some girl from the modelling world or something, to match his level" Bella tells Claire.

"Are you serious right now Bella!!" I would kill to look like you," Clair exclaimed,

"you are so beautiful, just look at your face, those eyes, your flawless skin, your shiny long golden hair, your banging body, he wont take his eyes off you, if not then he is a fool and i will kill him myself". Claire says.

"You are perfectly tiny," She continues to say,as she almost laughs. “You have always been the most beautiful among everybody, you are so innocent and so humble about yourself and everything in the world it kills me", Claire laughs. And Bella joins in feeling a little bit better.

She was so glad for having Claire in her life, she was basically her built in Best friend and Sister she is the reason she never felt so lonely since they have grown up together she was truly the best.

Chapter 1
“You gonna do something with that loaf of bread, or are you just going to stare at it until it bursts into flames?”Megan Flannigan looked up from the burnt loaf of banana bread currently sitting on her bakery’s counter to gaze into the green eyes of her greatest nemesis, Caleb Thornton. Her heart fluttered into her throat, which annoyed her beyond anything.“I was just thinking,” she retorted. “Until you interrupted me.”“Now I’m curious what you were thinking about with that frown on your face.”She opened her mouth, but closed it just as quickly. Her injured hand—cut a week prior on one of the many kitchen knives in her bakery—tingled. Or maybe it merely ached. She wasn’t sure how to parse her feelings about much of anything anymore.Caleb Thornton never failed to rouse both her irritation and her desire in equal measures. With his careless good looks, green eyes, and angelic grin, he could get the devil himself to do what he wanted with his charm. Couple that with his police u

Chapter 2
When Caleb had gotten the call from dispatch that there’d been a robbery at The Rise and Shine, he didn’t consider why he’d driven like a madman to get there, or why the thought of Megan hurt and scared—had she been there when the robbery had occurred?—sent his thoughts into a tailspin.He’d had to force his thoughts into the neat box of a police officer, not a concerned citizen. He had to exude calm and capability, even if everyone around him panicked.It was easier said than done when he walked up to the bakery to see Megan sitting on a bench outside, looking as lost as when he’d arrested her.“Megan, are you all right?”He squatted down in front of her. He almost took her hands, but he wasn’t Caleb Thornton right now: he was Officer Thornton, and he needed to keep a professional distance from this woman. No matter how much it tore him up inside to do so.She glanced up. Her eyes were wide, bright blue, and he was surprised to see that she wasn’t crying. She just looked shocked.

Chapter 3
After they’d cleaned up the bakery as much as possible, Harrison slapped a hand on Caleb’s shoulder and said he was going to take him for a drink. “You look like you need it,” he said.Caleb wasn’t sure he was the person who needed a drink the most—Megan probably was the number one candidate—but he wasn’t going to turn down free booze. His shift now over until morning, he let his older brother buy the first round of drinks at the Fainting Goat, a watering hole opened a few years ago in Fair Haven’s small downtown.Owned by Trent Younger, a family friend of the Thorntons, the Fainting Goat had been successful the moment it had opened its doors. Trent now owned a number of restaurants in the area, and last Caleb had heard, he was looking to open a location in Seattle. Trent also had a history with Lizzie Thornton, about which Caleb had always wondered but had never tried to pry. His younger sister, a musician traveling the country at the moment, tended to be tight-lipped about her pers

Chapter 4
“Is he seriously going to stand out there all day?” Megan asked in irritation as she wiped down the counter.Jubilee glanced at her before smiling at the customer in front of her. Once she gave the older woman her cinnamon roll and coffee, she replied, “He’s doing his job, you know.”Megan made a face. If doing his job meant being a giant pain in the ass, then Caleb was doing a great job.She watched as he leaned against a light post, his hands in his pockets. He looked deceptively nonchalant, but she knew he was capable of moving at lightning speed if necessary. When she’d come to the bakery that morning, he’d already been outside, sitting in his car and watching over the bakery and the neighborhood overall. She didn’t really understand how this was going to help them uncover the perpetrator, but then again, if it kept her bakery safe from another robbery, she wouldn’t complain. At least not too much.“I heard about what happened,” the next customer said, a young woman with bouncy

Chapter 5
Caleb leaned his head against The Rise and Shine’s brick wall and restrained himself from banging his head against said wall. It would certainly be less painful than whatever it was he was doing with Megan Flannigan.It’d been two weeks since the robbery, and although there had yet to be any real leads as to the perpetrator, Caleb was still tasked with watching the bakery and the surrounding businesses. They had gotten more than one tip of another possible robbery in the vicinity, and as a result, Caleb’s presence was supposed to deter any more crime occurring.So he told himself. He rather felt like he was like some guardian angel, except the woman he was watching wanted nothing to do with him.He let out a breath. It was his own fault, really. He and Megan had always been at odds—even when they’d been kissing.Now he really wanted to bang his head against the wall.He’d rejected Megan when she’d tried to kiss him after he’d arrested her. He had to: she was underage—albeit a mont

Chapter 6
Megan felt Jubilee’s gaze on her as she returned to the bakery. She refused to blush, or act like anything had happened. So what that she caught Megan kissing Caleb? It wasn’t a crime. She could kiss whomever she wanted. She could kiss Caleb in her office and Jubilee couldn’t say anything that would embarrass her because it wasn’t a big deal.“Jubilee, can you go finish cleaning up the kitchen for now, especially the oven? We don’t want a repeat of today.”Jubilee gave her a look that spoke volumes, but since she was a smart girl, she kept her mouth shut. She did, however, give Megan an amused smile, which only made Megan scowl.Megan served the customers for the next two hours until closing. Jubilee periodically came back to the front for something, although Megan wondered if she were just doing it to set her on edge.I kissed Caleb. Again. It’s fine. I’m not freaking out.She told herself that over and over again, but it didn’t convince her. She was freaking out. She was freakin

Chapter 7
Megan looked over her shoulder for the third time as she walked home. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, and she told herself she was imagining things. It didn’t help that she was alone and already on edge. Walking faster, she urged her pounding heart to calm itself. Why would somebody be following you in a place like Fair Haven? she asked herself. This town was safety incarnate. Crime rarely happened, and Megan walked home by herself all the time.Then again, robberies were once uncommon, until recently.She walked faster. When she heard a rustle in a nearby shrub, she almost jumped out of her skin before seeing a skinny cat dart across the street. She inhaled a deep breath.But the feeling that someone was following her only continued as she walked home. When she heard footsteps behind her, she whirled around, but nobody was there. She peered into a nearby yard, but she could only see the usual types of things in anybody’s front yard: pots for gardening, children’s to

Chapter 8
Caleb heard the water turn on in Megan’s bathroom, and he almost groaned aloud. Was she taking a bath? A shower? Either way, she’d be naked, and only a room away. He gritted his teeth as the inevitable images of her wet, naked, and flushed from the heat of her bath filled his mind.“Don’t do this right now,” he muttered to himself. Gary swiveled his ears at the sound, especially when Caleb stopped petting him. He continued the petting, mostly because he wasn’t sure the cat wouldn’t get its revenge on his balls if he did something it didn’t like.He hadn’t told Megan he was staying here just so he could be a creep. This was what he told himself, but he knew that deep down, he’d wanted to be the one to stay here. To protect her from the threat outside, and, yes, to just be in the same place as her. It was like a sickness. He’d already kissed her this week, and now he was going to be on her couch all night while she lay in her own bed. What did she wear to bed? Pajamas? Lingerie? Nothin
