Hear me out: Lovers to enemies >>> enemies to lovers I absolutely adore two characters who won’t relinquish their values/ambitions to their affection for the other. Who despite their love can never be together because neither will forfeit their stance

Yeah, it’s not super common. I honestly see it more in serial TV shows than books. Let me see if I can scavenge up some examples

It gets so dark, violent, and graphic. Check the trigger warning. Very good read but be warned
