When a gloriously reckless beauty sets out to sabotage her sister's engagement to a dangerously arrogant earl, she finds herself locked in a battle of wills that neither one of them expected—or can resist. Alex, Lord Wolverton, is utterly infuriated by Lily's interference, and he's determined to teach her a lesson through seduction, but their electric clashes soon ignite something far more consuming than either bargained for. As their white-hot attraction burns through every wall they've built, Lily's carefully guarded secrets begin to crack open, revealing depths neither of them anticipated. It's enemies-to-lovers perfection: two headstrong people who challenge each other at every turn, only to discover that the real danger isn't falling in love—it's admitting you already have.
Reading soundtrack
