The first kiss crumbles her world. The second mystifies. The third unbalances. The fourth sends her reeling. And the fifth -ah, the fifth . . . Inspired by Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, Miss Sarah Meacham has always behaved circumspectly, until an emotional outburst directed at a well-deserved gentleman earns her the nickname of Miss Shrew. As a result, she vows to never trust-or love-again. But when her father decrees that her younger sister cannot marry the man of her dreams until Sarah has secured a suitor of her own, she is faced with a dilemma: Deny her sister marital bliss or feign an interest in the next gentleman to come along, at least until their father relents. Mr. Ian Collum is no gentleman. A tradesman and newcomer to Brighton, he has been searching high and low for the perfect house. When he at last discovers Ivy Cottage, with its magnificent views, extensive lands, and a large oak tree reminiscent of his favorite childhood escape, he will do whatever it takes to obtain it. Trouble is, the owner of the property will only sell if Ian agrees to court the beautiful and infamous Miss Shrew-a woman as intent on eluding Ian as he is on pursuing her.

When her sister decides to throw an impromptu summer house party, Sophia reluctantly agrees to help. What she doesn't realize is that her sister has plans of her own-plans that would bring a certain childhood friend back into Sophia's life. It's been nearly a decade since Sophia has seen Hugh Quinton. He's grown into a handsome, charming, and successful-yet completely unacceptable-tradesman. Her mother looks down on him, her father detests him, and society would snub him in an instant. Sophia shouldn't even consider him. But her heart won't listen to reason, and before long, she finds herself wondering how much she is willing to sacrifice for love.

Miss Abigail Nash is no stranger to loneliness. Her mother died giving birth to her, her father's business dealings took him away more often than not, and her ailing great-aunt, unable to provide much in the way of companionship, was a lack-luster guardian at best. When her dear friends offer to launch her into London society, her life takes a turn for the better. An instant success, with suitors, social engagements, and offers aplenty, it seems Abby will at last settle into the life of her dreams. But appearances aren't always what they seem, and dreams often become disappointments. Just months into her marriage with a proclaimed darling of the ton, Abby finds herself widowed, penniless, and increasing. Even more precarious are the feelings she's developing for a man she shouldn't love, a man the law prohibits her from marrying-her late husband's brother, the Marquess of Brigston.

For as long as Prudence can remember, it has been understood that her sister will one day wed the eldest son of their nearest neighbor. Such an alliance will benefit both families and bring a great deal of joy to all parents involved. Unfortunately, Prudence has never been able to feel as joyful. She believes her sister is mad to consider marrying a man she hardly knows, even if he will one day make her a countess.

She certainly wouldn't, and she doesn't want her sister to either. Unable to stand by and do nothing, Prudence sets out to help the awkward couple discover the best in each other with the hope that they will eventually find love. What she neglected to foresee, however, was the possibility that she might fall in love with Lord Knave herself.
