About this book
A bored diplomat finds his only amusement in needling Jane Cecil, the Queen's devoted lady-in-waiting, but when unexpected tragedy forces them into marriage, their sparring takes on a dangerously delicious new dimension. What starts as mutual exasperation transforms as they discover there's far more beneath their antagonistic surface—and neither of them sees it coming. This is a gorgeously witty enemies-to-lovers romance where the banter crackles with genuine heat, and the emotional stakes deepen beautifully as these two guarded people learn what it means to truly see each other. Perfect for readers who live for that delicious moment when antagonism becomes irresistible attraction.

Moody, tension-filled, Renaissance-tinged sensuality.”
