The words graceful, proper, ladylike and elegant could never be used to describe Perrie Beresford, the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Ashwood. Perrie has always had a little too much fire in her to ever be classified as a beautiful young debutante, which is what she will inevitably become in her first Season. But romance, courting, and marriage are the last things on Perrie's mind. Especially when her nemesis, who was once an annoying classmate, suddenly appears in her home as her father's protégé. As Perrie is pushed towards the life of an adult by those around her, she can't help but be pulled into a game of wars within the walls of her very home. But Perrie is about to learn that the line between love and hate are very fine ... and perhaps might not even exist at all.

Hi ! I am a big fan of novels and I have honestly read hundreds in my life, which makes me hard now. Here you can find my favorite Chinese historical novels, and ONLY my favorites. If I found them just passable, I will not share it with you. In short, if you love a strong heroine, who knows what she wants, who does not necessarily need a man to live, with romance and action? Here is your paradise ^^ (PS: I'll rarely give my opinion (because, all of them are TIPTOP for me) Enjoy, it's free !
