There&rsquo;s a fine line between love and hate. 
 
Bobby Mason is sick of being second best: born the spare with the personality of the heir. 
 
James Demeroven, is a Viscount who wishes he wasn&rsquo;t one. His title brings far too much attention. 
 
They can barely get through a single conversation without tensions boiling over. Neither Bobby nor James has ever met a more intriguing, infuriating, infatuating man. 
 
If only they could avoid each other entirely. 
 
But when an extortionist starts targeting their families, Bobby and James must find a way to work together, without pushing each other&rsquo;s buttons (or tearing them off) in the process. . .

You're The Problem, It's You

Love is more than just a game for two. 
 
It&rsquo;s 1857, and anxious debutante Beth has just one season to snag a wealthy husband, or she and her mother will be out on the street. 
 
Gwen, on the other hand, is on her fourth season and counting, with absolutely no intention of finding a husband, possibly ever. She has plenty of security as the only daughter of a rakish earl, from whom she&rsquo;s inherited her penchant for drinking too much and dancing &lsquo;til dawn. 
 
Beth and Gwen are enchanted with each other on sight. And it doesn&rsquo;t take long for Gwen to hatch her latest scheme: rather than join the husband hunt, they should set up Gwen&rsquo;s father and Beth&rsquo;s newly-widowed mother. 
 
They had a fling years ago, after all&hellip; 
 
Can Beth and Gwen find a way to defy convention and be together? And will their parents find love along the way too?
