Love and Hate Relationships

I'm working on a new story and my two main characters are from opposing families. Think the Montague and Capulet families from Romeo and Juliet. The difference is that the two main characters do have an honest dislike for each other. Something happens and they end up having to work together. Repressed feelings of attraction come to light and over the course of the story they come to terms with those feelings.

I don't want them to come to terms with those feelings slowly. I want it to happen in one of those moments in the story that makes one of them fully realize and accept it. Can this be done in a believable fashion? If anyone knows any books or movies that portray this type of thing well I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Kallithrix. That is a great example of the type of relationship they have. Where Benedick and Beatrice were kind of tricked into realizing their feelings I'd like it to be more sudden and with a little less outside influence. Maybe something the villain demands the MMC to do.

I do love the banter between the couple in Much Ado About Nothing. I might pop that in just to help inspire some of the arguments my two characters have.

Thanks for the recommendations. The story isn't a comedy, although it does have a few funny moments. It's more of an adventure detective story I think. The MFC is pretty much forced to ask for the help of the MMC to track down a missing family relic and they go on a mini adventure together.
