AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The stakes are high, the love is forbidden, and the slow burn turns steamy in this swoony, witty, and heart-stoppingly romantic sequel to instant New York Times bestseller The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy.

This stunning hardcover features a cover with foil, beautifully designed endpapers, and a black-and-white interior map!

Osric belongs to the Fyren Order, where killing is a craft and feelings are a liability. Aurienne belongs to the Haelan Order, sworn to the principle "Harm to none." By every rule that governs their two worlds, they should never speak, let alone meet in secret once a month so she can heal the wounds his work leaves behind. But an arrangement built on bribery and mutual professional contempt has a way of turning into something neither of them agreed to.

When Osric and Aurienne stumble onto proof that a deadly plague is being spread through the Tīendoms on purpose, the stakes stop being personal and become political — and the two of them, natural enemies from opposing moral orders, are the only ones positioned to stop it. Every step deeper into the conspiracy blurs the line between healer and assassin a little further, until neither of them can say for certain which side of it they're standing on anymore.

This is the second and final book in the Dearly Beloathed duology, picking up the slow burn that began in Brigitte Knightley's bestselling debut, The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy, and bringing Osric and Aurienne's story to its conclusion.
