A sparkling enemies-to-lovers Regency romp from bestselling humorous historical romance author DG Rampton.

?a reluctant debutante with a mind of her own and a total lack of interest in becoming a "lady"

? an overbearing Marquess who moonlights as a spy

?? a Napoleonic conspiracy that's less problematic than falling for the wrong man

?? a "Love-Hate" friction that makes the London Season feel like a full-contact sport

In this instalment of the Regency Goddesses series, the ballroom becomes a battlefield when a high-spirited lady meets her match.

"You forget yourself, your lordship. You have no rights to allow or disallow anything I may choose to do. You have, in fact, no claim over me whatsoever - a circumstance for which I thank the Lord on a daily basis! I am neither your ward nor your dependent, and I will not allow you to talk to me in that odiously overbearing fashion!"

Miss Artemisia Grantley, niece of the Duke of Wentworth, has never had the benefit of an unfavourable opinion formed against her, nor has she ever made any attempt to conform to the feminine ideal expected of a lady of quality. She is more interested in having her own way than in conforming to society's expectations -- and until recently, no one has had the audacity to challenge her.

Enter the Marquess of Chysm.

Lord Chysm is abominably autocratic, insufferably observant, and annoyingly inescapable. He appears to have made it his personal mission to catalogue every one of Artemisia's shortcomings and bring them to her attention with a level of arrogance that is frankly impressive.

As Artemisia reluctantly embarks on her first London Season, a scandalous family secret and a conspiracy that stretches all the way to Napoleonic France threaten to entangle her in a web of intrigue. Even worse, the only person who can help her navigate the danger is the one man she could happily throttle.
