Here’s what early readers are saying:
Hate Wrecked is not just a survival story—it’s a full-blown emotional storm disguised as romance… Rogue doesn’t just write love stories. She writes raw emotions, trauma, healing… and the kind of tension that makes my chest physically ache.
This book gave me all the feels! Who wouldn’t want to go to an abandoned island with the one that got away?
I loved this one! It was a super slow burn… but so worth it. Loved the past chapters and island scenes. A first for me—and I want more!
As always, I am in awe of J.R. Rogue’s writing. So beautiful and poetic… punches you right in the gut while ripping your heart wide open.
After this sale, the ebook moves into Kindle Unlimited, so if you’re a wide reader, now’s the time to grab it before it becomes exclusive to Amazon.

This story means so much to me. It’s about broken people, lost places, and the wild, stubborn hope that we might be forgiven—by others and ourselves. If that resonates with you even a little, I hope you’ll give it a chance.
Stranded on a deserted island. Forced to survive together. But can they survive each other?
Celebrity bodyguard Rowan Finn never expected his latest assignment to land him face-to-face with Riley Williams—the wild, reckless woman who once shattered his heart. But when their yacht crashes during a routine excursion, they find themselves stranded on a remote Pacific atoll, completely cut off from the outside world.
With no rescue in sight, Rowan and Riley are forced to rely on each other to survive the island’s harsh terrain, dwindling resources, and unforgiving elements. What begins as an uneasy truce slowly unearths something deeper. Old wounds resurface. Sparks reignite. But trust doesn’t come easy—especially when the past is as painful as the present is uncertain.
As Riley reconnects with her passion for music and Rowan begins to lower the walls he’s spent years building, the line between survival and something more starts to blur.
Until a chilling discovery changes everything.
When they stumble upon human remains—and a deadly truth tied to the island’s dark history—their fight to stay alive becomes a battle against those determined to keep their secrets buried.
We’re coming down to the wire — Hate Wrecked hits shelves on June 24, and I’m counting the days! This story has lived in my heart for years, and I can’t wait to share the full experience with you.
But before that… one last teaser.
This is your third and final excerpt. The moment when the tension cracks just enough to reveal something deeper underneath.
Missed the earlier excerpts? You can catch up here:
“What are you writing in there?” she asks, her voice pointed.
“Notes. Thoughts. Ideas. The usual stuff you put in a notebook.”
“Notes for your book?”
I scoff. “I’m not a writer.”
“Shut up. You are.”
She sits in the sand, the cat curling in her lap. “I miss music,” she says softly.
“Why don’t you make your own?”
I expect her to joke, but instead, she stares into the jungle. “He made me feel foolish when I danced. When I turned music up loud. Like joy was something that needed permission.”
I hear the edge in her voice, the ache of something deeper. She finally speaks about him. About the man we never talk about.
“You were groomed,” I say, the word thick between us.
“Then why are you the only one who’ll say it?”
I don’t have an answer.
We speak of blame. Of silence. Of the kind of regret that changes the shape of your bones. And later, when the fire dies low, she reaches for my hand in the dark. She sings. Softly, just for me. And I think:
I love you. I forgive you.
But instead, I close my eyes and say nothing.
Today I’m also sharing the map of Elderslie Atoll—the fictional island where Riley and Rowan are stranded. This is where their love story reignites, tangled in survival, secrets, and second chances. I hope it brings the world of Hate Wrecked to life for you.
