The Earl's Unlikely Bride: A Regency Romance (The Dashworth Brothers Book 1)

About this book

After four unsuccessful seasons, Emily Hawkins is exhausted by the suffocating expectations of Regency society. Her only reprieve from a stifling home life is her ongoing, spirited feud with her lifelong nemesis, Freddie Dashworth. While Emily is the picture of propriety to everyone else, she and Freddie share a history of sharp-tongued banter and mutual disapproval. For Freddie, Emily’s icy glares are the only thing that truly captures his interest, even if he refuses to admit that her disdain is far more intoxicating than the flattery of other debutantes. The tension between them reaches a breaking point when Freddie returns to his childhood home to care for his young niece, placing him in constant proximity to his favorite adversary. A sudden, minor indiscretion shifts the ground beneath them, forcing the two enemies into an unlikely alliance that threatens to dismantle the carefully constructed walls they have built around their hearts. As they navigate this newfound closeness, the lines between hatred and desire begin to blur. Can Emily trust the man who has spent years provoking her, or will their combustible chemistry lead them into a scandal neither can escape? This witty enemies-to-lovers tale is a must-read for fans of sharp banter and heartfelt romance.
