The Enemy: A Novel (The It Happened in Nashville Series)

Twelve years is a long time to nurse a grudge—but when the grudge involves Ryan Henderson dangling a graduation kiss in front of June Broaden and yanking it away at the last second, every single day of those twelve years has been entirely justified.

Now Ryan is back in Nashville for their best friend's wedding, looking unfairly good and completely unaware that June has spent over a decade perfecting her revenge fantasy. She's not the same girl he once tormented in the hallways of their small-town high school. She's confident, successful, and absolutely ready to show him exactly what he threw away.

There's just one problem: the infuriating man who made her teenage years miserable is somehow even more magnetic at thirty than he was at eighteen. And the longer they're forced together by wedding festivities, the harder it becomes to remember why she's supposed to hate him. Ryan seems different too—less like the careless boy who broke her heart and more like someone who's been carrying his own regrets all this time.

Sarah Adams delivers her signature blend of sharp wit and swoon-worthy tension in this laugh-out-loud contemporary romance, where second chances are complicated, small towns have long memories, and the line between hatred and something far more dangerous gets blurrier with every stolen glance.

June came back to get even. She never planned on getting hooked.
