This historical romance isn't an enemy to lovers, more besties who really liked each other, but the families are at "war" because they don't have anything better to do. To keep the peace, someone from each household must arrive at a certain date, at a certain time to keep the peace. This time, the friends, Maddie and Gryff, of the past meet on the bridge. Both are instantly realizing the glow-up of the other, and the feelings that were simmering are not simmering anymore.

There is a small mystery of smuggling in a cave and cave shenanigans.

This is the first in a series, which promises more couples from warring families.

Tropes:
"Enemies" to Lovers

I received an ARC from St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for my personal review.
