Surviving on a tropical island will be hard.

Living with him will be impossible.

 

Shipwrecked on a tropical island, Caroline 'Caro' Montgomery is furious to discover that her sole fellow castaway is her brother's infuriating best friend, Maximillian Cavendish, the fourteenth duke of Hayworth.

 

Max might be the most handsome man she's ever met, but he's teased her ever since they were children. When Max claims to have lost his memory, Caro seizes the opportunity for revenge—and informs him he's a lowly stable hand.

 

As they work together to survive, attraction flares hot between them. But should Caro reveal her deception? And what will happen if Max finally remembers he's a duke?

 

 

Tropes: Amnesia, Enemies to Lovers, Best Friend's little sister, childhood crush.

About the author

K. C. Bateman

Kate Bateman (writing as K. C. Bateman) wrote her first historical romance in response to a $1 bet with her husband who rashly claimed she'd 'never finish the thing.' She gleefully proved him wrong. Her Regency and Renaissance-set tales feature her trademark feisty, intelligent heroines, wickedly inappropriate banter, and heroes you want to both strangle and kiss. 
​​​​​​​
When not traveling to exotic locations 'for research', Kate leads a double life as a fine art appraiser and on-screen antiques expert for several TV shows in the UK, each of which has up to 2.5 million viewers. She splits her time between Illinois and her native England and writes despite three inexhaustible children and a number-loving husband who still owes her that dollar.
