Richard Clark doesn't need a woman.

A good thing, too, since no one would marry him. A bastard with hands rough from work, women want him only for a good tumble. Until the one woman who's always set him aflame returns for his brother's wedding. The infuriating chit has pleasure on her mind. And revenge. He likely deserves her revenge, but he'd do anything to give her pleasure...

Beatrice Bell needs no man.

Unless it's to take a lover. And her friend's house party wedding offers the perfect opportunity to do just that. If she can escape the disapproving glares of Mr. Richard Shaw, her one-time friend and long-time enemy. He separated her sister from the man she loved, and Beatrice will never forgive him.

Even if he does kiss her like she's sunrise itself.
Even if he's good with children.
And excellent at apologies.
And has that lovely lock of hair curling right over one eye...

Even if she enjoys arguing with him more than she enjoys a pleasant conversation with... anyone else. He seems to like it, too. And the old animosity sparks into something deliciously different. In this novella-length Regency romcom, hate is familiar, but love is so worth it.
