About this ebook
Lady Phillipa "Pippa" Hartwell has spent years loathing the arrogant and insufferable Duke of Haverleigh. Their animosity began when Pippa was just a girl, and the duke, five years older, made it his mission to tease and torment her. As the years passed, their fiery clashes only grew, especially with Haverleigh being her brother’s best friend. Yet, despite the friction between them, Pippa can't ignore the deep-seated attraction that simmers beneath her dislike.
Now, a decade later, Pippa’s brother has inherited the earldom, and the duke returns to Whitmore Hall to visit his lifelong friend. Pippa and Haverleigh’s bitter rivalry is as strong as ever, but when a fierce storm traps them together in an old hunting lodge, everything changes. Forced to spend days in each other’s company, the animosity between them shifts—into something far more dangerous: a tempest of passion, longing, and need neither can deny.
Can Pippa and Haverleigh overcome their shared past and their mutual hatred to discover a love that neither expected, or will their unresolved emotions tear them apart forever?

Pippa and Christopher clashed at their first meeting and now they are stranded together at a hunting lodge in a rainstorm. Will they overcome their bad impressions? This was a short steamy romance. I would have liked more to their story before the epilogue.
