Lady Diana Pickwick has hated John Darrow, Lord Whitlock, for years, so why can't she seem to stay away from him? John is in her thoughts, in her dreams, and vexes her at every opportunity. She is certain the heat she feels for him is rage and not…something else.
John has had his eye on Diana from the moment they met, and baiting her for years has been so much fun. Secretly, he longs to declare his love for her and propose, but his disastrous financial situation has stopped him.
But when they are accidently caught in a compromising position and forced to marry, their games are over. And when Diana discovers the cause of John's resistance to marrying her all these years, she is livid. Particularly since she is in possession of a small fortune of her own, earned through clever investing. She secretly buys up John's debt, then sets him up for the ultimate prank.
Just when John believes the game is over, it has only just begun.
