Condemned to a life she does not want, her desire to kill the man who destroyed her life grows. Chaja immediately accepts the Mother Superior’s offer to marry Martin, theson of a nobleman.

She plans to escape during the wedding celebrations to gain her freedom and track down her enemy. When she comes face to face with Martin at the altar, she recognises him as the murderer of her family.

She quickly decides to kill him on the wedding night. This is a story about hatred and prejudice, where cultures and religions collide.

It is also about love, forgiveness and mercy. Readers' comments:"I was held captive by this book, I couldn’t quit reading [.

] A great inspirational read!!!" - Barbara"To love the enemy” is a book that shows how Jesus and His word can make a cold and wounded heart find peace and love. " - Karina"It is a touching love story between Chaja and Martin and their journey on how to love and forgive each other.

You can’t stop reading it after you start reading their story. “ - Sherly"I never felt so impressed by a novel before [.

]" - Diana"Overall, Junia Swan has created something that is not just about love but particularly about life, forgiveness, mercy, and how to bring back our humanity through Chaja and Martin’s unfolding love stories. " - Defasoe"Swan’s language is like magic, transporting me directly into the heart of the novel’s scenes.

I felt like I was right there alongside the characters, experiencing every moment with them. It’s rare to find a book that can whisk you away so completely, but To Love the Enemy does just that.
