Fortune brought him back to England. Misfortune brought them together.

Cecily Bradshaw has despised Nash Markham since before they met. His captivating smile and overdone charms might blind others from the insufferable tease he is, but not Cecily. Only once, in the naïveté of youth, did her resolve momentarily falter, and she is determined it will never happen again. Especially not when, years after their first meeting, Nash returns to England a wealthier and even more devastatingly handsome gentleman than when he left.

Nash Markham has always been a man of remarkable good fortune, except where it concerns Cecily. It is not that he dislikes his fiery adversary, for he finds her utterly intriguing and an absolute delight to vex, but upon his return from India, she seems to have determined that he is the most tiresome man in all of England. No, in all the world over.

But when Nash’s luck takes a drastic and sudden downturn, it is Cecily he must rely on to help him restore his reputation before all he’s built is lost. As reliance gives way to a mutual affinity, the adversaries question if their match of misfortune is actually a fortuitous stroke of luck or if it will ultimately prove their downfall.
