Billie Bridgerton grew up running wild with the Rokesby boys next door. Everyone assumes she will marry Edward or Andrew when the time comes. The two families have lived as neighbors for generations, making such a match perfectly natural. But George Rokesby presents a problem. The eldest son and heir to the earldom strikes Billie as insufferably arrogant. She cannot stand him, and she feels certain he returns her dislike completely. This mutual antipathy suits them both fine until fate intervenes. When circumstances throw Billie and George together against their will, something unexpected happens. The sparks that fly between them take on a different quality entirely. Their first kiss changes everything they thought they knew about each other. These two people who have spent years as enemies must now confront a startling possibility. The person Billie most wants to avoid might be the person she cannot imagine living without.
