INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

A Lambda Literary Award Winner and named Best Romance of 2025 by Amazon, Kirkus, Chicago Public Library, and more . . .

A pair of Gothic novelists trade rivalry for love in this swoony, steamy, sapphic Regency
by USA Today bestselling author Alexandra Vasti.

Celebrated authoress Lady Georgiana Cleeve has achieved fame and fortune. Unfortunately, she's
also acquired an enemy: the enigmatic Lady Darling, whose spine-tingling plots appear to be pulled
straight from Georgiana's own manuscripts. What's a stubborn, steely writer to do? Unmask her
rival, of course.

But unmasking doesn't go according to plan--because Lady Darling is actually Cat Lacey, the
butler's daughter and object of Georgiana's very secret, very embarrassing teenage infatuation.
Cat Lacey has spent a decade clawing her family out of poverty. The last thing she needs is to be
distracted by the stunning(ly pretentious) Lady Georgiana Cleeve. But Cat can't seem to escape her
infuriatingly beautiful rival--including at the eerie manor where they both plan to set their next books.

The plot unexpectedly thickens, however, when the novelists find themselves trapped in the manor
together. In between ghostly moans and spectral staff, Cat and Georgiana come face-to-face with
real danger: the scorching passion that's been haunting their rivalry all along.

"I'm obsessed with this book." - Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of
Delilah Green Doesn't Care

"Alexandra Vasti's Ladies in Hating . . . marks her as a star of historical romance." - Shelf
