An annoyance to lovers, opposites attract Regency romp! 

His heart is a fortress 

And she’s trespassing! 

After losing all he holds dear in a horrific fire, Max Aldersley, Earl of Rivenhall, shuns the world—until he catches Effie Nithercott digging holes on his estate! He banishes the intrepid archaeologist and the unsettled feelings she arouses within him. But she returns, even more determined and infuriatingly desirable than before! He wonders just how deep she is prepared to dig—so far that she’ll reach the man beneath his scars…?
