*Pre-order the brand new enemies-to-lovers romcom from the author of The Great Orchid Heist.* Two rival historians reluctantly team up to decipher an ancient treasure hunt, in this delightfully bookish enemies-to-lovers romcom with an action-adventure twist. 'Fun, sexy hijinks' Lex Croucher 'A total joy' Laura Kay * Librarian Evie has hit rock bottom: stuck on a never-ending mental-health break from her studies, she spends her days shelving books she's desperate to return to and giving tours of the university where she no longer truly belongs. As if things couldn't get worse, she's been assigned to help Oxford's insufferable new honorary professor - infuriatingly charming and chaotic social-media historian, Nic Morelli, who happens to be Evie's oldest rival. So when Evie finally stumbles across something extraordinary in the stacks - the ancient Book of Treasures, a map to uncovering a long-lost medieval artefact - Nic is the very last person Evie wants to tell. There are those who would kill to find the ancient treasure first, and it wouldn't be the first time Nic has betrayed her. But as a shadowy group of treasure hunters close in and the danger of working alone becomes clear, Evie is forced to admit that Nic could be the only person who can help decipher the book's clues. As long as they can keep old feelings for each other safely buried . . .
