Osric is a member of the Fyren Order, a guild of assassins who gleefully murder for money.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAurienne 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTropes include: Forced collaboration \/ Forbidden love \/ Denied attraction \/ Majoring in Yearnalism \/ Semi-public s*x and other words not in the Bible \/ Rated E for E*ting Her Out \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback \u003cbr\u003ePublication: 1 Jun 2027, Little Brown \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780356524795\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eExtent: 416 pages\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57930189144446,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9780356524795.jpg?v=1787917384","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/the-exquisite-torment-of-loving-your-enemy-by-brigitte-knightley","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
