About this book
Cyrus is having a bit of an identity crisis. Once the most feared villain in the land of Athaca, he finds his reputation slipping—mostly because he’s secretly more interested in embroidery and making flowers bloom than actual villainy. When the realm’s infuriatingly golden, chiseled, and relentlessly optimistic hero, Maximillian, enters the scene, Cyrus realizes he needs to step up his game to stay relevant. Maximillian, however, has a secret of his own: he isn’t quite as perfect as his heroic reputation suggests. He proposes an outrageous business arrangement to Cyrus: they should fake an epic, high-stakes rivalry to boost their respective fame and profits. It is the perfect marketing plan—stage the battles, share the spoils, and keep the public entertained. But as they lean into their roles, the line between performance and reality begins to blur. Using the popular "enemies to lovers" and "fake rivalry" tropes, this cozy fantasy rom-com explores what happens when a villain and a hero realize their chemistry is far from staged. With sharp wit, "black cat/golden retriever" energy, and a heart-melting romance, Cyrus and Maximillian discover that their greatest challenge isn't defeating each other—it's resisting the sparks flying between them.

See all formats and editions “Charming, clever, romantic, and fun, but most of all, filled with tremendous heart. You're in for a treat!” — Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop A not-so-evil villain strikes a deal with a not-quite-perfect hero to fake a feud, boost their reputations . . . and try not to fall in love in the process—in this hilarious, tender, sexy, and outrageously fun romp that blends the humor of Assistant to the Villain with the unforgettable romance of Heated Rivalry and the cozy fantasy vibes of Legends & Lattes. Fake nemeses. It’s a dastardly plan that can’t go wrong… until love crashes the act. Nobody is more surprised than Cyrus to learn that he’s no longer considered the greatest villain in the land of Athaca. Sure, he’s lying about the fact that his magical power is making flowers grow. And maybe lately he’s spent more time embroidering pillowcases than tormenting the locals. But that doesn’t mean he’s ready to be yesterday’s evil news. Enter the hero Maximillian: the realm’s golden boy, complete with a blinding smile, chiseled abs, and an infuriating habit of spreading hope and joy. (Gross.) If Cyrus wants to be taken seriously, he’ll have to take this guy down. But Maximillian isn’t quite as perfect as he seems. When he proposes a scheme to fake an epic rivalry and increase their fame, Cyrus can’t resist. Stage the battles, soak up the spotlight, share the spoils—it’s a villainously good marketing plan. There’s just one hitch. Pretending to hate your nemesis becomes a lot harder when you start falling for them instead. Nemesis Mine is a wickedly funny, steamy, and big-hearted rom-com set in a cozy fantasy world, featuring: A gleefully villainous protagonist with the comedic flair of Megamind and The Grinch An irreverent take on a fantasy kingdom for fans of Shrek and The Princess Bride Enemies to reluctant allies to lovers (M/M) "Ye Olde Heated Rivalry" for those who love a twist on fake rivals/secret relationship Black cat/golden retriever energy Dagger to the throat moments Falling for the hot villain (added by request of Cyrus) “Touch him and die” ) Previous slide of product details 1.
