Valentina

Kane Easton isn't friend material.

He's a master manipulator.

No one understands why I give him such a hard time.

They can't see past his flawless exterior, but I know he's keeping a secret-

something he'll protect with absolute ruthlessness.

He thinks I'll fall in line with the rest of Xavier High.

Believes he can kiss me into submission.

He has no idea what he's up against.

I may be the youngest Genovese, but I've learned from my family.

I'll make Kane regret the day he ever crossed my path.

What to know about Perfect Enemies:

-Rivals to lovers

-Secret identity

-Forbidden love

-Age gap romance

-Has an HEA

-Can be read as a standalone

-Dual POV

-Content warnings listed on my website

A Note from the Author: For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!
