May Berkeley gets called in to get rid of a beehive and gets to know the Purcells, specifically Eugene Purcell, a rational and sometimes middle son of a viscount. While the beekeeping business develops, so do the two's feelings as they keep bumping into each other's paths. ____ A short excerpt: "Regardless," he added, "I'm glad you took those dreadful, aggravated things away." "Bees are not angry creatures," May defended. "My numerous bee stings would beg to differ with your assessment." She chuckled, "They are protective and will defend themselves, sometimes to the death. The same way you would seem to defend and protect your sister." "Miss, are you comparing me to bees?" "I believe I am, my lord. However, I think you are more of an angry creature than they are." His face heated and in a more hyperbolic setting, steam would have hissed out his ears. "Excuse me?! You do not get to come into my home and-" He stopped himself. He was proving the infuriating beekeeper right. Even the cat woke up. "Never mind."

John Osborne has a promising career with the War Office and lacks for nothing. Except, possibly, a wife. Unfortunately, the woman he wants only has eyes for someone else. When a shared friend offers to help him win his love's heart--if only he will assist her on a case--he reluctantly agrees. He can put up with their grating presence if it affords him the chance of the happily ever after he so desperately craves. Lady Mary Kinson is happily counting down the days until she will officially be considered 'on the shelf'. Spinsterhood is looking rather appealing when getting married means giving up everything and trusting your husband to care for you. She'd rather use her dowry for a quiet life on her own. Until her younger sister does the unthinkable and Mary has to enlist the help of a friend to save her family from ruin.
