23 Enemies-to-Lovers Books That Turn Rivalry to Romance

"Devil's Daughter" ($7)

"Devil's Daughter" by Lisa Kleypas has a different backstory for its enemies-to-lovers arc. When Phoebe first meets reformed rake West, she marks him as an enemy for his role in bullying her late husband when they were schoolboys years ago. Unfortunately, she can't deny the attraction she feels for him, even though she wants to despise him. She comes to realize that the person he once was — and, perhaps, the person she once was, too — don't have to define what the future can be.
