Description

For fans of Elena Armas and Ali Hazelwood, an emotional second-chance romance set in small-town Massachusetts about best friends turned lovers whose past still threatens their future.

Some loves destroy you. Some save you. Some do both.

Alex thought that leaving her Massachusetts hometown for college would help her forget Jamie, the troubled boy who was her first friend, first kiss, and first heartbreak. But five years later, at twenty-three, she finds herself back home, staring at the same yellow shutters and red door, unable to outrun the past.

Forced to attend her dreaded five-year high school reunion, Alex discovers an old journal hidden in her childhood bedroom. Over twenty-four hours, memories come flooding back: the spark of young love, Jamie’s chaotic family life, and the choices that shattered everything she thought she knew.

But some secrets were never what they seemed. As Alex confronts the truth about Jamie and about herself, she must decide if love can’t change the past but might still rewrite her future.

Poignant, nostalgic, and deeply emotional, The Enemy of Time is a love story about the ties that bind us, the ghosts we carry, and how a single moment can unravel everything you thought you knew about love, time, and fate.
