She’s too prim
Lilah Holcutt dislikes Constantine Moreland from the moment she meets him. He may be handsome, but he’s frivolous, rash, impulsive and, worst of all, a flirt. Now that Con’s twin brother has married Lilah’s best friend, she’s seeing way more of Con than she’d like. And when Con’s sisters are inexplicably kidnapped, Lilah’s own curiosity and stubbornness get the better of her, and she finds herself swept into Con’s investigation.
He’s indifferent to propriety
Con knows that Lilah hates him—he just wishes she weren’t so devastatingly beautiful, that he weren’t so attracted to her. Especially since they’re working closely together to solve the kidnapping, an adventure that leads them to Lilah’s peculiar childhood home, Barrow House, which sits atop an ancient fen and features an eerie maze on its grounds.
They’ll have to join together to conquer a sinister force
The more Con and Lilah uncover, the more they’re convinced that the answers lie buried deep within Barrow House—answers to a mystery darker than either of them could ever have realized.
His Wicked Charm by Candace Camp is book number six in the Mad Morelands series. I enjoy a really good enemies to lovers trope and this one fits the bill. Constantine Moreland is a dangerous and handsome flirt. Lilah Holcutt is a beautiful and cold woman – seemingly immune to Con’s charms because she despises him. Under her cool exterior, Lilah is just a frightened and confused woman. Lilah is wary of Con’s teasing, flirtatious nature. But when some of the Moreland women are kidnapped the pair are thrown together to rescue the group. Con’s eyes are open to a person hidden beneath Lilah’s haughty exterior. Can anything real exist between them? Can seeming enemies become lovers?
Camp is a master of spinning tales with sexual tension. The pull between Con and Lilah is very strong and at times feels almost frantic. I highly recommend this book.
