American heiress Rose Carrington knows exactly what she wants in a husband, and the Marquess of Holbrook--with his roguish behavior--doesn't have it. But when a lively English house party throws the polar opposites together as unlikely partners in a week of spirited competition, Rose finds her carefully ordered plans turned upside down.

August Shaw has spent years perfecting the art of charming everyone while committing to no one, but Rose and her impossible expectations make him wonder if he's been wrong about what he wants. And even as he offers to help her catch the attention of a more suitable houseguest, August finds himself wishing he could be the type of man to win her love.

As the games grow more competitive, Rose's feelings toward August begin to betray her. How could someone so far from her ideal find his way into her heart?

Chelsea Bobulski weaves together yearning and wit in her charming opposites-attract romance set in Edwardian-era England.
