From USA Today Bestselling Author Melissa Toppen, comes a brand-new, enemies to lovers, new adult romance that will take you on an intoxicating journey of friendship, betrayal, self-discovery, and the cost of risking it all for the person you love.
I remember the first time I saw Sutton Barnett in perfect detail- like a fragment of time suspended in front of my eyes. I remember his shirt- faded blue against tanned skin that had seen countless hours of the summer sun. Wet droplets peppered his shoulders from where his still wet hair had dripped onto the fabric. He rounded the bottom of the stairs, our eyes meeting for only a fraction of a second before he looked away, but it was long enough for me to know right then and there that nothing would ever be the same again.
And I was right. At thirteen years old, I had predicted exactly what was to come. Some things you just know are an absolute inevitability, and Sutton was that for me. The one thing I couldn’t escape no matter how far or fast I ran. But the distance only made me want him more. Time intensifying the deep ache that I could not outrun no matter how hard I tried. I loved him so much it hurt. But I also hated him almost as intensely.
Over the years I found comfort there- in the space between love and hate. But even I knew I couldn’t stay there forever- that one day I’d be forced to face Sutton again. I just wish I was a hell of a lot more prepared when that day finally came…
The Space Between Love & Hate is the first book in The Space Between Duet.

When it comes to the Barnett brothers, their place in Aspen’s life couldn’t have been more different. Remi was her best friend who supported her through all the challenges she had to face and Sutton who despite the way he treated her owned a piece of her heart that she was never able to reclaim.
One night changed everything and now Apen finds herself back in her hometown where she will reunite with both men. Sutton is just as distant and infuriating as she remembers but that doesn’t negate the feelings she has for him as she finds herself torn between him and Remi who was always there for her.
Secrets will be reveals and emotions will escalate as all three of them must face the actions and decisions that brought them to this point as they try to find a way to move forward which all leads up to a cliffhanger that leaves us wondering what will happen next.
