Blurb:
After I caught my boyfriend cheating, I tried to be mature about it with an amicable split. But he took his retaliation too far, and I have officially had enough. No more Miss Nice Haven.
No one is allowed to lie to me, betray, embarrass, and devastate me, fill me with self-doubt, or put my future at risk, and expect to get away with it. He is going to feel my wrath.
Enter Wick Webster, his archenemy.
Nothing would provoke my ex more than to see me moving on with the one guy he hates most, so that’s exactly what I plan to do.
The only hitch in my brilliant scheme is Wick himself. He’s just gotta be all love-not-war and peace-is-the-only-way. He’s more concerned about helping me heal than seeking my sweet revenge.
And what the hell is it about his soothing presence and yummy looks that calls to me until I forget how much pain I’m in? He’s making it awfully hard to use and abuse him for my malicious means. The damn guy is making me fall for him.

Teasers:
Haven walks into her apartment, with her arms full of groceries only to wonder if her eyesight is decieving her. Surely, it couldn't be seeing her boyfriend of three years, having sex with her roommate on her couch. So she runs, literally into Wick's arms. Wick is her now-ex-boyfriend's archenemy, and the perfect guy to use when she decides to seek her sweet revenge, after he tries to ruin her life. Wick doesn't mind being used for rebound sex, if it will help Haven heal, but he doesn't want to be used in her revenge plans. And even though Haven doesn't actually know him all that well, she feels safe and can trust him, and even starts to fall for him. Will she end up getting revenge on her ex for ruining her life, or will her plans back fire?
This book was definitely entertaining. I couldn't put it down. Haven was blindsided by how truly awful her boyfriend was, until the evidence was staring at her in her face. As Haven spirals, there is one soothing constant always there on the sidelines looking out for her. Wick. He helps Haven when she needs it most. He is sweet, caring, and protective. Does he have alterior motives to his actions? Because surely, with everything her ex has said about him, and him helping her- a complete stranger, he must want something, right? This book has drama, with humor sprinkled amongst the chaos. I stayed up far later than I should have because I shipped Wick and Haven and wanted to know if they got together in the end, or if she ended up extracting revenge on her ex after all. It was definitely worth the read. 4⭐ out of 5⭐

Excerpt #1
“You guys are totally off your rockers. I am not having sex with anyone just to get back at Topher. To me, that’d be like drinking poison and expecting him to die from it.”
Bentley gasped, affronted, and pressed a hand to her chest. “Sex isn’t poison.”
I rolled my eyes because SHE hadn’t been cheated on recently.
“Seriously,” Teagan went on. “Sex can be good for you. It’s actually the number one reliever in vaginal atrophy.”
I blinked. “In…what?”
“Inflammation, dryness, and thinning of the vaginal walls.”
“Huh?” I furrowed my brow, wondering how I’d landed myself in a sex-education class.
“You must massage the tissue down there, exercise it regularly and get the blood flowing so it remains healthy and elastic. Otherwise, it’s going to dry out like an unused rubber band and crumble apart.” She balled her hand into a fist as if wadding up something. “Just a brittle piece of hopelessness.”
Ouch.
Why did I suddenly want to wince and protectively cover my hoo-ha with both of my hands? Seriously, I’d just found an old rubber band last week. It had dried up and fallen to pieces as soon as I had picked it up.
Lord, I didn’t want my vagina to crumble apart like that.
But then Bella—bless her soul—rolled her eyes and muttered, “Oh, whatever. She doesn’t need a man to get the blood flowing down there. My faithful BOB has kept me more satisfied and elasticized than any human douche ever could.”
Teagan merely shrugged. “It’s more fun with a real penis though. Just saying.”
“Wow,” Lucy murmured, shaking her head. “JB must have some kind of magical cock to make you talk this way because, before him, you were all like, eww, men are so overrated. Sex is gross. Keep it away from me.”
Lifting her chin, Teagan sniffed proudly and rubbed her swollen belly. “He does. It even sparkles in the sunlight.”
“Ack,” I cried, covering my ears with my hands. “It is so impossible to think of JB that way. He’s like a cousin to me, T.”
“You know, you don’t actually have to have sex with anyone,” Bentley spoke up, making me glance at her in confusion. “You just have to make Topher believe you did.”
“Or…” Bella countered. “As much of a showboat as Topher is, the best way to get back at him would be to just move on and be happy. I have a feeling him seeing you moving on without him might drive him crazier than anything.”
Excerpt #2
“Oh, I hope that fucker is still hanging around Dandridge when we get there.”
Mom bumped into his leg with her wheelchair. “Careful, darling. Don’t make me bail you out of jail before the night’s over.”
He grinned mischievously and winked at her. “What? Maybe I can sneak a pair of handcuffs out for us if I do end up behind bars.”
“Oh my God! Dad!” I yelped, covering my ears with both hands. “We talked about this. None of that talk in front of me, remember?”
“Right,” he said nodding, only to roll his eyes toward Mom and petulantly mumble, “How’d we end up with such a chaste, puritanical daughter again?”
“Probably because you told her she couldn’t have sex until she was thirty-five.”
He huffed out a degrading snort. “Like she actually listened to me.” Then his gaze shot hopefully my way. “Wait. DID you listen to me?”
