When tomboy Billie Bridgerton imagines her future, she pictures marrying one of the charming Rokesby brothers she's known her whole life—definitely not their insufferable eldest, George, who thinks she's beneath his notice and whose very existence makes her blood boil. But when circumstances force these sworn enemies into constant, unavoidable contact, something unexpected happens: the biting remarks start feeling flirty, the antagonism crackles with electricity, and Billie begins to wonder if she's been spectacularly wrong about the one man she swore she'd never tolerate. As their relationship shifts from adversarial to something infinitely more dangerous, George and Billie discover that sometimes the person who infuriates you most might just be the person you're meant to spend forever with. Julia Quinn delivers a delicious enemies-to-lovers romp that proves first impressions can be wildly misleading.
