How do you tell the man you’ve spent years hating that you are madly in love with him?
Lady Martha and Lord Adam hate each other with a burning passion.
Having her childhood tormentor in her own home is certainly not how Lady Martha Galway envisioned Christmas to go. Despite her parents’ warning, she’s determined to stay as far away from him as possible and not accommodate him at all.
Lord Adam Murray, second son of the Marquess of Dierdam, was never one to follow the rules. Especially when it comes to butting heads with Lady Martha. Forced to celebrate Christmas together, Adam resolves to ignore her as much as possible. That is until he finds himself unable to.
What starts off as a dreaded situation ends up bringing them closer than ever before and awakening feelings they thought impossible. When Martha’s father announces that she is to be wed to a man of his choosing before the holidays are over, Adam feels his world crumble. With only a few days left, he must not only find a way to sabotage the courtship but also discover the person who’s declared open war on his family with deadly intent.
