The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy Hardcover – Book 1

When assassin Osric Mordaunt of the Fyren Order falls gravely ill, he is forced to seek help from the one place he least expects—the rival Haelan Order. The healer he needs, Aurienne Fairhrim, is already overwhelmed treating children afflicted with a resurging and deadly Pox. Desperate for funding to save her patients, she reluctantly accepts Osric’s dangerous proposal. As they work together to uncover the source of the mysterious outbreak, mistrust and loyalty are tested at every turn. Their partnership is fraught with sharp words, unresolved tension, and a growing attraction neither can afford to acknowledge. This stunning hardcover edition features foil detailing, beautifully designed endpapers, and a black-and-white interior map—making it perfect for romantasy collectors and BookTok readers alike. Ideal for fans of slow-burn romance, morally gray heroes, and forced proximity tropes.
