What this book is about
Harriet Davies and Gryff Davies — whose families have feuded across generations — are thrown together when neighboring tension erupts into violence. An arranged truce takes the form of a marriage neither of them asked for. Kate Bateman's first Ruthless Rivals novel is a lively enemies-to-lovers Regency romance with wit and real romantic chemistry between two people who absolutely should not want each other.
