Bookroo's summary

June Broaden, now a successful donut queen, faces her high school nemesis, Ryan Henderson, at a wedding. Once a secret crush, Ryan's now a celebrated chef. As old tensions and new sparks fly, June must decide if revenge or romance will win the day. Can they overcome past grudges, or will their reunion end in another missed chance?

From the publisher

From the New York Times bestselling author of Practice Makes Perfect comes an expanded edition of The Enemy–a laugh-out-loud romance about rekindling old flames, with a never-before-seen chapter. Enemies should never get a second chance. But this one might. It’s been twelve years since June Broaden has seen her high school enemy (and secret crush), Ryan Henderson. That’s a long time to hold a grudge over some petty feud, but the sharp memory of him dangling a kiss at graduation, then pulling away at the last second, has fueled many angry fantasies since. Now it’s her chance to get even. Ryan, along with most of her high school class, is back in town for her best friend’s wedding, and June is eager to show the former bully exactly what he’s missed out on. A lot has changed since their teenage days; June is now the Southern queen of gourmet donuts, not to mention one of the most desired bachelorettes in her small town. What’s she’s not expecting, though, is for Ryan to show up looking like Adonis and touting his own career success as the youngest chef to ever win three Michelin stars. How dare he try to one-up her revenge plot? Luckily, June never backs down from a challenge.
