An Amiable Foe

A castle. A stubborn heiress. A determined new owner. Neither expected to lose their heart. Marianne Edgewood has always trusted one thing—Brindale Castle. The ancient estate is her home, her history, and the last piece of her family’s legacy. When a distant heir suddenly inherits the property, Marianne refuses to leave. She’ll do whatever it takes to remain at Brindale. Peregrine Osborne has finally earned everything he ever wanted—his uncle’s approval, London’s admiration, and ownership of a magnificent castle in Kent. Restoring Brindale to its former glory should be simple… if only its fiercely independent resident weren’t standing in his way. As Perry begins ambitious renovations, Marianne challenges him at every turn. But their battle for the castle soon becomes something far more dangerous—a battle for their hearts. When pride clashes with passion, they must decide whether holding on to the past is worth risking their future together.
