<strong><em>Sword-crossed lovers, their own worst nemeses </em></strong> <p><em>'Nemesis Mine</em> is an absolute joy! Funny, romantic, and heartfelt, it is a cosy adventure that will make you laugh and swoon. Cyrus' and Maximillian's chemistry is electric. Who needs enemies-to-lovers when you have nemeses-to-lovers?!' <strong>Elizabeth Helen, <em>Sunday Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Bonded by Thorns</em></strong></p> <p>Once upon a time there lived the (annoyingly) perfect hero Maximillian - a champion with a blinding smile, muscles sculpted by the gods, and an infuriating dedication to all things noble and good.</p&gt; <p>But this isn't his story. Good is boring. Honour is overrated.</p&gt; <p>This is the story of Cyrus, the kingdom's most feared wrongdoer. Handsome, dastardly, and (still relatively) young, Cyrus lives for villainy.</p&gt; <p>But even Cyrus has to admit, keeping up a fearsome image is a lot of work. So, when that golden boy Maximillian offers a deal to fake a rivalry, Cyrus can't resist. A few staged battles, some public drama - it's the perfect way to boost both their reputations. Sure, it means spending more time with his so-called 'enemy', but how hard could that be?</p> <p>Get to know him. Fight him. Maybe fall for him?</p> <p>Nope, that wasn't supposed to happen.</p&gt; <p> <strong> <em>You might just come across these favourites:</em> </strong> </p> <p>?? Fake dating hating</p> <p>??
