The Fox and Hound: A Sweet, Clean, Regency Romance Novella Dowager's Masquerade Book 5

Lady Beatrice Cole recognized her enemy from across the entire ballroom - and the Dowager, of course, had dressed them to match. For three years, clever widow Beatrice Cole has been at war with Edmund Sharpe, the most insufferable, principled, infuriating barrister in England. He thwarted her finest scheme. He worships his precious rules. She has told half of London exactly how much she loathes him - and thinks about him a great deal more than one ought to think about a man one loathes. Costumed as a fox and a hound and trapped by a meddling duchess into every dance, the two sharpest minds in London discover that their three-year quarrel was built on a misunderstanding - and that the line between loathing and longing is thinner than either proud heart dared admit. One firelit library. One truce held a breath too long. And two people far too clever, and far too frightened, to be the first to lay down the sword. A sweet, closed-door, banter-rich enemies-to-lovers Regency romance - the swoony finale of The Dowager's Masquerade. Book 5.
