Brigitte Knightley

'As swoon-worthy and charming as it is funny and irreverent. Sign me up for everything Brigitte Knightley writes' Olivie Blake, bestselling author of The Atlas SixIn this swoony, witty and heart-stoppingly romantic sequel to instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy, the stakes are high, the love is forbidden and the slow burn turns steamy. Osric is a member of the Fyren Order, a guild of assassins who gleefully murder for money. Aurienne is a Haelan, a scholar-healer whose Order's motto is Harm to none. Clear-cut absolutes separate them: good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark - Until they don't. When Osric first bribed Aurienne to heal him, he never imagined those lines would begin to blur. But every healing session draws the two of them closer together. He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body - and his heart. Aurienne's perfect life has been flung into chaos in the form of a devastatingly handsome assassin. She should be in her research lab, not illicitly healing a Fyren every full moon - nor wrestling an attraction to him that threatens to slip into something else. Things go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tiendoms. The plague may be the work of another Order - an Order far nastier than either of them can handle. As the lines between Osric and Aurienne continue to blur, the balance between peace and war and love and hate trembles, shifts, and hinges on a heartbeat.

This had all the things I love most: a slow-burn romance that hurts so good, truly agonizing enemies-to-lovers, with a twisty mystery at its core' Julie Soto, author of Forget Me Not'The slow burn romance of my dreams. Whip smart, creative, and brimming with banter and wit . . . both the hero and heroine had me laughing and shouting to just kiss already. This one is a rare delight' Isabel Ibanez, author of What the River KnowsReader reviews:'6 star read - no notes. I would sell my soul for half the characters in this book' ?'If I could give it 10 million stars I would' ?'? ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!

Simply no notes' ?'This was everything I wanted and hoped for and even more. Perfection has a name, and it is this book!' ?'Ugh, this was PERFECT. How do I read another book after this? The banter, the wit, the romance, the plot! It's all amazing' ?'Nothing else will ever fill this void. I have legitimately never laughed so much reading a book' ?

A tét nagy, a szerelem tiltott, és a lassan kibontakozó vonzalom komoly szenvedéllyé válik. Amikor Osric Mordauntot, a Fyren Rend elit bérgyilkosát ledönti a lábáról egy olyan betegség, amit még egy jól irányzott tőrdöfés sem old meg, a túléléshez sürgősen szüksége van egy kivételes gyógyítóra… a sors pedig, mert nyilván remek humorérzéke van, pont egy Haelan Rendbeli gyógyítót sodor elé — vagyis egy olyan embert, akinek normál esetben a közelébe sem szabadna mennie. Aurienne Fairhrim és rendtársai egy gyerekeket sújtó halálos himlőjárvány megfékezéséhez igyekeznek kétségbeesetten pénzhez jutni – olyan kétségbeesetten, hogy amikor Osric betör a főhadiszállásukra, azért, hogy lefizesse Aurienne-t, gyógyítsa meg őt, a nő kénytelen elfogadni az ajánlatát. Időközben Osric és Aurienne munkához látnak, hogy meggyógyítsák a férfit, és annak is a végére járjanak, miért ütötte fel a fejét a himlő, és azon kapják magukat, hogy hevesen tagadják az egymás iránti vonzalmukat – ami pedig csak még tovább tüzeli a köztük lévő szenvedélyt.

A slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy featuring a scholarly healer and a gentleman assassin, set in an exquisite fantasy world, perfect for fans of The Love Hypothesis and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries. Osric Mordaunt, member of the Fyren Order of assassins, is in dire need of healing. Naturally - such is the grim comedy of fate - the only healer who can help is Aurienne Fairhrim, preeminent scientist, bastion of moral good, and member of an enemy Order. Aurienne is desperate for funding to heal the sick - so desperate that, when Osric bribes her to help him, she accepts, even if she detests him and everything he stands for. A forced collaboration ensues: the brilliant Woman in STEM is coerced into working with the PhD in Murders, much to Aurienne's disgust. As Osric and Aurienne work together to heal his illness and investigate the mysterious reoccurrence of a deadly pox, they find themselves ardently denying their attraction, which only fuels the heat between them. Tropes include: Enemies-to-lovers High interaction slow burn Hypercompetent idiots He falls first and harder Slaughter as a love language

Originálna a neuveriteľne zábavná prvá časť romantickej duológie o nepriateľoch, z ktorých sa stanú milenci, zasadená do jedinečného fantasy sveta. Osric Mordaunt, člen rádu Fyrenov a nájomný vrah naliehavo potrebuje liečenie. Iróniou osudu jedinou osobou, ktorá mu môže pomôcť, je Aurienne Fairhrimová, rešpektovaná vedkyňa, stelesnenie morálky a – členka nepriateľského rádu. Aurienne zúfalo potrebuje peniaze na financovanie výskumu kiahní, ktoré zasiahli ich krajinu a trpia nimi stovky nevinných detí. Keď ju Osric podplatí, súhlasí, že mu pomôže, napriek tomu, že nenávidí všetko, čo predstavuje. Vynútená spolupráca geniálnej vedkyne a profesionálneho zabijaka privedie Aurienne k starým mystickým praktikám, ktoré nemajú s vedou nič spoločné. Osric a Aurienne spolu vyšetrujú opätovný výskyt tajomnej smrtiacej nákazy. Horlivo pri tom popierajú nákazu vzájomnej príťažlivosti, čo len zosilňuje iskrivé napätie, ktoré medzi nimi vládne od prvej chvíle.
