Hired by the Enemy - Paperback

by Jax Calder (Author)

What happens when you have to fake date your childhood enemy?

I never thought I'd hire someone to pretend to be my boyfriend, but despite being twenty-five and the CEO of my own tech company, I haven't had much success in my love life. When I'm faced with being dateless for my company retreat, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Unfortunately, the universe decides it's a great time to play the ultimate prank as my fake date turns out to be none other than Liam Jamieson, my life-long nemesis. Liam grew up next door to me and is the definition of Mr. All American Jock. Our childhoods were an endless cycle of pranks and one-upmanship against each other.

Now we have to pretend we're in love? This is going to be a complete disaster.

Or is it?

Because it turns out Liam and I have both grown up since high school. And maybe, just maybe, we never actually knew each other.

Hired by the Enemy is a 40,000-word enemies-to-lovers novella that features a nerd and jock who are forced to work together with surprising results. It was first published in April 2024 as part of a charity anthology and no additional material has been added.
