Childhood enemiesย discover the fine line between love and loathing in this heartfelt reimagining of Shakespeareโs Theย Taming of the Shrew.
Katerina Wilmot and Christopher Petruchio shared backyards as kids, but as adults they wonโt even share the same hemisphere. That is, until Kate makes a rare visit home, and their fiery animosity rekindles into a raging inferno.
Despite their friendsโ and families' pleas for peace, Christopher is unconvinced Kate would willingly douse the flames of their enmity. But when a drunken Kate confesses sheโs only been hostile because she thought he hated her, Christopher vowsย to make peace with Kate once and for all. Tempting as it is to be swept away by her nemesis-turned-gentleman, Kate isnโt sure she can trust his charming good-guy act.
When Christopherโs persistence and Kateโs curiosity lead to an impassioned kiss, they realize โpeaceโ is the last thing that will ever be possible between them. As desire gives way to deeper feelings, Kate and Christopher must decide if itโs truly better to hate than to never risk their heartsโor ifย they already gave them away long ago.
