Last month on Brookelynite Daily, we wrapped our third serialized romance. This month, we’re starting a new one. The heat is up. So is the tension.
I Hate That I Love You is the fourth story coming to my premium newsletter. It’s an enemies-to-lovers romance about two A&Rs with beef who are being forced to work together for a good cause. They’ve got history. And yes, there’s the baby sister’s best friend trope in the mix too.
Jazzy and Wes are going to keep you coming back each week with their rivalry. I already love that for us.
Episode 1 drops Monday, April 7th. That first episode will be free to read. To get episode 2 and every one after, you’ll need to be a Brookelynite Daily subscriber.
Okay, enough intro. Let’s get into the synopsis.
Synopsis:
They’ve been rivals for years. Now, they have to work together… or watch the one place that made them who they are disappear forever.
Jazmine “Jazzy” Reeves has spent her career fighting for real artistry in an industry obsessed with trends. As a senior A&R executive at Voltage Records, she’s made a name for herself discovering raw, undeniable talent… without selling out.
Wesley “Wes” Bishop, senior A&R at Dope Records, is all about strategy. He doesn’t care about heart… only numbers. If an artist isn’t marketable, they’re a risk, and Wes doesn’t take risks.
For years, Voltage and Dope Records have been locked in a public rivalry, and Jazzy and Wes are at the center of it. Industry insiders live for their feuds. Social media is convinced they secretly hooked up. And Jazzy? She knows exactly who Wes is. He’s the man who ruined her favorite artist’s career. The man who prioritizes money over music. The man she could never, ever fall for.
But when their former high school, the Brooklyn School of Music & Media, faces permanent closure, their labels agree to a one-night-only charity event, Mic Drop, where their rosters will battle in a one-night-only showdown where the best artists from both labels go hit for hit, song for song.
The catch? Jazzy and Wes have to produce the show together.
The more time they spend fighting over details, the harder it gets to ignore their chemistry. And when old wounds resurface, along with secrets about the artist Wes dropped, Jazzy is forced to ask herself one question…
What if the man she’s hated for years… is the only one who truly understands her?
