Hi love,

Next Tuesday, the messiest couple I’ve ever written finally gets to ruin your week (lovingly) and make you laugh!

Deepika and Liam have hated each other since they nearly drowned one another at age eight. Now they’re grown, famous, and one cupcake fight away from murder. Deepika’s Hollywood career is in trouble and she needs a fake boyfriend. Fast.

Enter the infuriating, sexy-as-sin Olympic playboy she can’t stand. The plan was simple: fake-date three months, fix their images, go back to hating each other.

What wasn’t in the plan? Accidentally getting engaged at a diner.

Don't Date Your Nemesis

Nothing says disaster like accidentally getting engaged to your nemesis.

Deepika and Liam have been sworn enemies since the day they met at age eight and nearly drowned each other. Almost two decades later, nothing’s changed. Except they’re hotter, louder, and one cupcake fight away from murder.

When their best friends announce their wedding, they’re forced to play nice through months of pre-wedding chaos. But when a viral video threatens Deepika’s rising Hollywood career, she needs a fake boyfriend fast.

And who better than the infuriating, sexy-as-sin Olympic playboy she can’t stand?

The plan was simple: fake date for three months, fix their images, then go back to hating each other.

What wasn’t part of the plan? Accidentally getting engaged at a diner.

Now they’re trapped in a fake engagement with the whole world watching, and a contract that ends in three months with strict rules.

Too bad rules are made to be broken. Especially when there’s one bed, too much champagne, and years of unresolved sexual tension combusting into something that feels dangerously real.

Enemies to lovers. Fake engagement. And a disaster waiting to happen.

Because who knew hate could taste this sweet?

“Fuck,” Liam muttered, his voice rough as gravel as he glanced at the bed. “This bed is fucking tiny for me. I should’ve booked the suite.”

“Deal with it, fish boy,” I said, rolling my eyes. My breath hitched when I felt the heat of him pressing into me.

“You’re a nightmare, Sharma,” he said, his hand sliding up my ribs, his thumb brushing the underside of my breast. I could feel the calluses on his thumb catching on the silk of my dress, sending jolts of electricity straight to my nipples. “It’s too fucking small for what I want to do to you.”

As he kissed me again, I felt it. The hard, undeniable length of him pressing against my thigh. Holy shit. My heart did a frantic somersault because he felt even bigger than before.

It had been a lifetime since I’d been with anyone. The ghost of my ex, Yash, flickered in my mind. His lazy, selfish touches, the way he would leave me aching and empty after he got his pleasure.

I was shoved out of my head by a sharp, sudden sting near the column of my neck. Liam growled, biting the sensitive skin and glaring at me.

“Stop thinking about that dumbass when I’m the one making your pussy wet,” he hissed against my skin.

Don't Date Your Nemesis

Love,

Mahi
