Fury and desire waged war in their thoughts….

The Lovelaces and the Hardstones would rather die than get along.

Betrothed to a powerful Duke, the feisty Miss Verity Lovelace knows one thing: her family’s enemies will pay for what they did to her poor aunt.

A renowned rake and eligible bachelor, Ernest Hardstone, the Earl of Norfolk, never paid much heed to the ridiculous feud. Until his father was murdered at the hands of his sworn enemies.

But the fire Verity ignites in him was not at all what he had planned. Or that he would marry her after their compromise. Torn between their hatred and their passion for each other, the ghosts of their past start emerging one by one. And they all desire one thing: revenge.
