Enemies to lovers
These are true enemies-to-lovers romances as I would define them. They are on opposite sides of a conflict or have goals that involve harming or thwarting the other. They have opposing moral codes.
The leads are not just rivals who start out disliking each other (I have a different list for this: Rivals to lovers).
