When Harrison Archer's family tells him he must marry to secure the family fortune, he's reluctant to do so...until he learns that his lifelong friend, Maddie Webster, is still unmarried three years after her debut. But she's about to become engaged to a duke. Harrison comes up with a plot to ask Maddie for her assistance finding a bride, with the true goal being her hand in marriage. While Maddie's happy to see her old friend and help him with his quest (or what she thinks is his quest), she's surprised by the new feelings she has for him, after not seeing him for three years.
This is a classic friends-to-lovers story, and it's definitely a steamy one. I liked Maddie's directness, as well as her non-traditional penchant for competitive tennis (scandalous for a society lady to sweat like that in public!). The one thing that bugged me was the conflict between them — if they've been friends for so long and Maddie's so direct in her nature, couldn't they just talk this out? But then we wouldn't have the book... oh well. It was fun!
