Title: "The Enemy" by Sarah Adams

Prepare for a battle of wits, old grudges, and unexpected sparks in Sarah Adams' "The Enemy." Twelve years have passed since the last encounter, and the war of emotions is reignited as Ryan Henderson returns to town for a mutual friends' wedding.

Synopsis:

For Lily Harper, the wounds from her past encounters with Ryan Henderson run deep. Their high school rivalry reached its climax with a cunning move from Ryan, leaving Lily smarting from a defeat she didn't see coming. Now, with Ryan back in town for a celebration, Lily seizes the opportunity to show him just how little she cares about their shared history – especially the almost-kiss that has lingered in her memories.

Much has changed since their feuding days. Lily is now a successful bakery owner, and she's determined to flaunt every delicious detail of her life in front of Ryan, who, much to her chagrin, is far more attractive than she remembers. Her plan is simple: maintain her composure until the wedding concludes, and Ryan retreats to wherever he came from.

However, Ryan has different plans. He pursues Lily with a determination that catches her off guard. As he showers her with attention, Lily must navigate the fine line between their shared history and the possibility that Ryan's smiles and heated gestures might be genuine.

Is it all a continuation of the high school games they used to play, or could there be something more? Lily battles with the notion that this time, it might not be a game at all – especially as Ryan's presence lingers longer than expected.

But can Lily trust the change in the air, or is this just another strategic move in the ongoing war between them? In "The Enemy," Lily is determined to emerge victorious in this game called war, where the stakes are higher, and the battlefield is love.

Note: "The Enemy" is a closed-door romance, perfect for readers who crave sizzling chemistry without explicit content. Sarah Adams weaves a tale of rivalry, unexpected attraction, and the complexities of a love that refuses to play by the rules.
