When quirky American heiress Daisy Bowman faces an ultimatum—find a husband or be forced to marry the ruthless (and utterly despicable) Matthew Swift—she's determined to do absolutely anything to avoid the man who makes her blood boil. But as she goes about her desperate husband hunt in London's glittering social scene, Daisy discovers that Matthew has unexpected depths: charm, wit, and a smoldering chemistry that ignites every time they're near each other. What starts as antagonistic sparring quickly transforms into irresistible passion, and Daisy begins to wonder if the man she's always hated might actually be her perfect match. When a shocking secret threatens to unravel everything they've built, Daisy and Matthew must decide what they're willing to risk for love.
