Perfect for you if...

You love enemies-to-lovers where the animosity feels earned and the slow burn actually takes its time building genuine tension.
You're drawn to romantasy with real stakes beyond the romance: a disease outbreak, factional conflict, and characters with competing loyalties.
You appreciate dual POV narratives where both characters are competent and morally grey rather than one needing rescue.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots where the romance ignites quickly; this one stretches the denial across 400 pages.
You want a standalone novel; this is book one of a duology and will leave threads unresolved.
You're looking for a light read without complex world-building or political tension between factions.

About this book

Osric Mordaunt, an assassin with the Fyren Order, falls ill and seeks out Aurienne Fairhrim, a healer from the rival Haelan Order. When he breaks into their headquarters to bribe her into treating him, Aurienne accepts—her order is desperate for funds to launch an immunization program against a deadly Pox outbreak affecting children. As Osric and Aurienne work together to cure both his illness and the mysterious return of the Pox, they struggle against a growing attraction to each other. The tension between members of enemy factions intensifies as they deny their feelings while collaborating to solve the disease. This slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy is the first book in the Dearly Beloathed Duology.
