The Enemies to Lovers Trope

In Depth

One of the most popular tropes in romance is when two rivals start falling for each other after certain circumstances force them to work together. Over time, the animosity between them slowly fades as they find common ground, and this often leads to a satisfying conclusion with both characters falling in love. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of nine fantastic novels that explore this trope. Take note that this list is done in no particular order.

First up, at #1, we have "The Billionaire's Wake-Up-Call Girl" by Annika Martin. After her ex leaves her with a lot of debt, Lizzie is forced to work for a pharmaceutical company where she hopes to stay long enough to earn the hefty signing bonus. When she ends up doing literal wake-up calls for her CEO, Theo Drummon, she does so in a very sassy and unfriendly manner. When their calls start becoming sexual, Theo begins searching for the person behind the phone, but Lizzie doesn't want to meet him.

Next, at #2, is "PowerHouse" by Chelsea Camaron and Ryan Michele. It's the first book of their "Power Chain" series, and it revolves around Onyx Blake, a successful man with an unfortunate upbringing. In a deal gone wrong, he agrees to take his client's sister, Torryn, as collateral. Torryn and Onyx constantly butt heads throughout the story, but over time, they start falling for each other.

At #4 is "You've Got Fail" by Celia Aaron. Willis Halloran is a blogger who gives relationship advice online under the alias of Scarlet Rocket.

Next, at #5, is "American Asshole" by Tara Sue Me. Mia Matthews is the co-owner of a relatively small dating agency. After her mother dies in a tragic accident, she finds out that they owe Tenor Butler, the owner of a larger agency, a lot of money.
