Hate You To Love You

Hate You to Love You by Joshua Hortinela is a heartwarming queer romance that pairs second-chance tension with the irresistible buzz of an international book tour.

With sharp banter, big feelings and a travel-soaked backdrop, it’s the kind of LGBTQIA+ romance that’s easy to sink into. Carlos is stuck in a quarter-life wobble, grieving his dad and wondering why his life doesn’t feel like the rom-com he was promised.

Then he lands a career-making assignment: follow famous, newly reclusive author Claudia Leighton on tour and write the feature everyone’s been waiting for. The complication is Claudia’s publicist, Elliot Simpson—hyper-competent, infuriatingly composed, and Carlos’s ex.

As the tour moves through Sydney, Dublin, Edinburgh and London, forced proximity brings old hurts to the surface, along with tenderness that never quite went away. Perfect for readers who love bookish settings, second chances, and contemporary romance with emotional depth.

Add it to your cart and come along for the ride.
