Zoey
Handler is ready to put an end to her decade-long rivalry with Gordon Meyers.
They’ve traded top spot between valedictorian and salutatorian for years, but
all that’s over now. Right? But after a crazy graduation speech prank gets out
of hand, suddenly their rivalry turns into all-out war. Time to make peace with
a little friendly payback.
Step
one? Make him believe they’re now friends.
Step
two? Show him the time of his life at an epic graduation party.
Step
three? Don’t fall for his tricks.
Step
four? Absolutely, positively, do not kiss him again.
So
what if he’s cute? (Okay, hot.) So what if he’s charming? (Heaven help her,
tempting.) So what if he apologizes? (That has to be fake.) She knows the real
Gordon. And no matter how much her heart begs her to stop, there’s no turning
back.
Disclaimer: This
Entangled Teen Crush book contains one epic party, complete with every
high-schoolers-gone-bad shenanigan, and two rivals who discover maybe they
could be something much more…if only they’d stop fighting long enough to notice
it.

Excerpt:
"Help me out here," Gordon whispered, his cheek brushing against mine as he spoke in my ear. "I'm blanking."
The breath stalled in my lungs with how close he was, and how his soft words sent warm chills across my skin. The notion that he thought I was someone he could ask advice from both thrilled me and made my nerves twist. Or that could be because I could smell him again, which seemed to have a direct line to my crazy-button. Because only an insane girl would be wishing her enemy would keep whispering in her ear like that-he could recite the alphabet for all I cared, as long as he kept talking.
"Um," I said, stumbling over my own words. New experience. Not exactly fun. My eyes darted over the faces in the room-completely oblivious to the battle raging inside me, the one that screamed to give in to what I was feeling for Gordon, and the other side reminding me how he'd slayed me this morning. I finally spotted the quarter on the table and remembered how to use my brain. "Any time someone says quarter, they have to drink."
Gordon smiled and I felt it in my bones. "Thanks," he said. "What she said." He spoke a little louder as he sat up straight again, and I instantly craved the warmth of his nearness.
I'm in so much trouble.
I focused solely on the game and on the plan, but my body…my heart…wanted what I couldn't have.

Interview with Molly E. Lee
Can you tell us a little bit about the
characters in Love Between Enemies?
Zoey is a fiercely competitive incredibly intelligent go-getter.
Zoey is a fiercely competitive incredibly intelligent go-getter.
Gordon is an equally competitive humble heartthrob.
The pair have constantly battled academically and their
years-long rivalry comes to a head at their grad night party.
Can you tell us a little bit about your next books or what you have planned for the future?
Right now I am focusing on finishing the final book in the Grad Night series, which I am super excited about because it is Lennon and Jade’s story. I’ve wanted to write their story from day one J
How long would you say it takes you to write a book?
It all depends on the research and content of the specific book. The more details I have to work in the longer it takes me to get it on the page. It can be anywhere from a one-month to three-month process.
What is your favorite childhood book?
My favorite childhood book was Peter Rabbit. It was one of the earliest books I can remember reading and it sparked my passion for books at a super young age.
If you could spend the day with one of the characters from Love Between Enemies who would it be? Please tell us why you chose this particular character, where you would go and what you would do.
I would totally spend the day with Gordon. He’s funny and perceptive and wicked smart. Plus, I’d make him take me to his dad’s restaurant for those famous burgers.
What was the hardest scene from Love Between Enemies to write?
The hardest scene to write was the darkest moment in the book. I won’t spoil it here, but it involves disappointing your parents in a massive way, and the guilt and regret within the character was hard to get through. It made it feel super realistic to the genre, though, which was a good experience.
What made you want to become a writer?
I’ve wanted to be an author since the second grade. I was already an avid reader, but our teacher assigned us an extra special project that year. She gave us a blank hardback book to draw and write our own story. Mine turned into a tale about a girl who finds a pack of magic seeds that when planted, grows a crop of aliens. I’ve never wanted to do anything else since J
