BOOK NEMESIS
Sammie Trinidad
BLURB
For Serenity Brooks, fanfiction wasn’t just a hobby—it was her escape, her passion, her lifeline. Until Duvall K. Howard, the man she loved, shattered her heart and stole her inspiration in one fell swoop. Now, Duvall’s back, crashing into her life with a life altering secret. The news reignites not only Serenity’s dormant passion for writing but also the burning embers of her anger. The past is back, and she’s not forgiving.
Enter Ezra Sullivan, the witty, charming friend she lost along the way—the one man who truly understands the sting of Duvall’s betrayal. He was Duvall’s roommate, rival, and always second best, and now he’s Serenity’s partner in crime. Together, they’re plotting the ultimate literary takedown, a campaign of creative vengeance that will take them through the chaotic world of conventions, awkward signings, and the constant scrutiny of overbearing parents and relentless relatives.
But as Serenity and Ezra navigate the minefield of their shared past and their complicated present, the lines between friendship, revenge, and something undeniably, irresistibly hotter begin to blur. What starts as a strategic alliance—a fake romance for revenge—evolves into something neither of them anticipated as their connection deepens. Will their quest for payback against Duvall lead them to something more with each other, or will their staged romance threaten to derail their plans and break their hearts all over again?

ABOUT SAMMIE
Sammie Trinidad likes to call herself the “Filipina Wonder Woman” – she even has the cosplay to prove it. Her stories include romance, both in SFF and contemporary, and fantasy. All her stories come from the heart because she has faced the unimaginable: death of her son, who died from SIDs. Grief inspired her to explore the layers of the human condition, exploring connection in all its messy, intriguing, and deeply personal forms. When not writing, Sammie can be found indulging in dark chocolate, watching Schitt’s Creek or Vampire Diaries for the zillionth time, or cuddling with her sweet dog and chunky cat, Zelda and Link.
