Lady Prudence Wexley will not let the Marquess of Avingdon pave over her aunt's pleasure gardens. So she buys every parcel around his-and dares him to sue. What she doesn't expect is months of shared lawyers, a flooded coaching inn, one bed, and the truth behind his cold plans. The Marquess of Avingdon never meant to build a mews. He meant to build a memorial-for the brother he could not save. Now, to win Prudence honestly, he'll have to do something he has never attempted before: court her in public, in front of the entire ton. An enemies-to-lovers Regency historical romance of gardens, lawsuits, and one very public proposal.
