Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Ugly Love is an emotionally intense and unforgettable romance novel by Colleen Hoover that explores the painful beauty of love, loss, and healing. When Tate Collins meets Miles Archer, a mysterious and emotionally closed-off pilot, it’s not love at first sight—but an undeniable attraction soon pulls them into a passionate, no-strings-attached relationship.

Miles has two rules: don’t ask about the past, and don’t expect a future. But as their connection deepens, Tate finds it harder to ignore the pain Miles hides behind his silence. Told in a dual-timeline narrative—present-day Tate and past-tense Miles—Ugly Love slowly reveals a heartbreaking secret that explains why Miles can’t let himself love again.

Raw, steamy, and deeply emotional, Ugly Love is a powerful story about finding the strength to forgive, move forward, and love—even when it hurts.
