β¦ Synopsis
The swoony, frothy finale to the Rogues to Lovers series from award-winning author Anna Bennett.
**She's about to face her biggest challenge yet...
**
Since she was a girl, Miss Kitty Beckett has been adept at finding trouble: sneaking brandy, running away, and getting under the skin of the boy who, like her, was an apprentice to an architect. Now Kitty's a talented heiress who can take a dry building plan and breathe life into it with her pencils and paints. Also? She can spot a rake at a hundred yards--and she won't be tricked or charmed into marriage. Certainly not by a man who might interfere with her dreams. When Bellehaven Bay announces its first ever architectural design contest, she vows to win--with a little help from her childhood rival.
**Turning her buttoned-up nemesis into a certified rake.
**
Leo Lockland, a hardworking architect with a gift for numbers, has returned home after a few years in London, and he has secrets....
