Summary (From Goodreads):

Bridgerton meets 10 Things I Hate About You in this spicy enemies-to-lovers Regency romance from a “must-read author” (Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

Lady Evangeline Raine prefers animals to people and has no interest in marriage­–much to the dismay of her flirty younger sister, Viola. Because their father has one rule: Viola may be courted, only if Effie has a suitor as well.

Saddled with debt, Gage Croft, Duke of Vale, is determined to rebuild his estates. When the owner of his vowels offers him a fortune to charm the impervious Lady Evangeline for the season so Lady Viola can be courted, the game is on, even if it means pretending to seduce an unconventional wallflower.

But Gage gets much more than he bargains for in an adversary who wants to make her own scandalous arrangement. Effie will go to London for the season, but only if Gage agrees to be her lover. Yet when their fake courtship leads to passionate feelings, will their indecent proposal end with the season or be the start of something real?

Read if you like: enemies to lovers

Evangeline is a spinster who doesn’t plan on getting married, but she is asked to supervise her little sister during the London Season. Gage is a new Duke to a broke estate who is trying to figure out how to pay his staff properly. The two butt heads but can’t deny the attraction they have to each other.

I actually loved this book so much. I loved Evangeline and Gage and how they had to figure out what they wanted. I was a little unsure about the conflict but I like how they resolved things. Overall a fun book!
