But kissing each other is almost as much fun as arguing, and their affair burns hotter than either of them expects. When she mockingly challenges him to show her what she’s missing by not getting married, Tristan shocks them both by accepting her indecent proposal: one week of clandestine meetings, after which they’ll go their separate ways. Wickedly proper architect Tristan needs a respectable woman to wed, but he’s never stopped wanting bold, red-headed Carys. There’s only one person who’s never bought her act-the only man who makes her heart race: Tristan Montgomery, one of her family’s greatest rivals. Outwardly confident and carefree, inside she’s disillusioned with both men and love. For the past two seasons she’s scandalized the ton with her outrageous outfits and brazen ways in a futile bid to deter potential suitors. Staying single is the only way to hide the secret that could ruin her-and her family-if it was revealed. But it’s a thin line between love and hate in Kate Bateman's A Daring Pursuit.Ĭarys Davies is doing everything in her power to avoid marriage.
