How To Love Your Archnemesis [Romance/Drama - Book 1 Complete]

Two heirs of opposing nations under the same kingdom meet for the first time. They’re doomed to be hated rivals from the very start; but destiny seems to have other plans. Naomi Rosenthorn, quiet but sharp-tongued, is heir to Monroe of the sun-kissed South. She knows the stories well from a lifetime of lectures: Northern greed, cruelty in conquest, the cold hounds of brutality. So when her path crosses with Cassien Rivain - heir to the cold and calculating North - she has every reason to turn away. Except, he's patient when she expects scorn, listens when she anticipates dismissal, and yields when she does not deserve his mercy. Cassien Rivain has been raised on tales of the southern nobles’ honeyed words; reputations of songbirds that sing melodies so sweet you'd willingly walk into your own betrayal. But Naomi is nothing like he expected - infuriatingly radiant, fiercely compassionate, and impossible to forget. Their budding trust is shattered during the long delayed Accord - a peace summit hosted by the Imperial family - and Naomi and Cassien find themselves tethered by ancient magic: bound by a psychic link that lets them see through each other’s eyes, and forced into constant physical proximity to avoid agonizing pain. Now they can’t escape each other. Not in the waking world or the privacy of their thoughts. Forced into an uneasy alliance neither thought possible, their connection may be the one thing that could save their kingdom... or tear it apart. Enemies by blood. Bound by fate. And trying not to fall for each other, despite it all. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ Volume 1 is COMPLETED with 35 chapters spanning ~88,000 words, with Volume 2 currently in the works. ♡ Slow-burn ♡ Enemies to Lovers ♡ Romantic fluff  ♡ Court (and personal!) drama / Political intrigue ♡ Simplified magic / Low fantasy ♡ Some elements of the divine / godhood ♡ Occasional but detailed action scenes
