Nemesis Mine

⚔️ Sword-crossed lovers, their own worst nemeses ⚔️

'Nemesis Mine 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?!' Elizabeth Helen, Sunday Times bestselling author of Bonded by Thorns

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.

But this isn’t his story. Good is boring. Honour is overrated.

This is the story of Cyrus, the kingdom’s most feared wrongdoer. Handsome, dastardly, and (still relatively) young, Cyrus lives for villainy.

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?

Get to know him. Fight him. Maybe fall for him?

Nope, that wasn’t supposed to happen.
