Shropshire, Inglaterra, 1817. Geoffrey Wentworth debe convertirse en Conde de Stratfordal regresar de la guerra contra Napoleón. Y una de las obligaciones del título es encontrar esposa. Para ello, su madre organiza a sus espaldas unos festejos que durarán varios días. Una de las invitadas a esta recepción es Miss Liliana Claremont, quien no gusta a la madre de Geoffrey. Liliana ha acudido a la fiesta con la intención de investigar la supuesta relación entre los Wentworth y la muerte de su padre. A Geoffrey le llama la atención y por eso la invita a ser su acompañante durante las celebraciones. Ella acepta, pero no porque él le interese sino porque lo ve como una oportunidad de investigar el asesinato de su padre.
Poco a poco irán conociéndose. Liliana verá en Geoffrey a alguien muy diferente de quien pensaba y por su lado, Geoffrey descubrirá en Liliana a una mujer valiente, inteligente y con una pasión por la química que la hace brillar entre las demás damas que ha conocido, lánguidas, aburridas y con un único objetivo en la vida: casarse.

Sweet Enemy by Heather Snow
Liliana had found some old letters behind the book shelves when she returned from asking others to help with the robbery at her home. The
letters didn't make sense to her but it reminded her of her father's dying words. Given the only clue was the wax seal on the
bundle of letters that'd be a good place to start her search for the answer to who murdered her father. It was just by chance she and her aunt and cousin
got an invite to go to the place where the seal came from.
His mother was at it again, setting him up for marriage by throwing a party, using his seal to send the invites out, and hope he would find a suitable partner.
She attends the ball at his house and finds herself going through the library looking for a spot in the shelves the same as what's at her library-the hidden
shelf. But something happens and she ends up in his arms. They start courting...
Sword fighting tournaments are just the thing to show off in front of the women.
Her gunsman won the bet because of her knowledge of chemical reactions and the right things to add to the gun powder.
Fascinating explanation of the plants they find and what they can do for the sick.
He is in agreement with her as to the location of a new village after hearing all about the chemical reactions of things that could relate to illness in the new village.
Was thinking with just 2 pages left I hope she gets to use her chemistry magic again to solve the mystery.
Adult language and sexual scenes only enhance the reading of this book.
Received this review copy via audible from the author and this is my honest review. ( )

I really enjoyed this book, i like the fact that the heroine was intelligent and not a simpering misses who's sense of accomplishment is being a good hostess. Would definitely recommend. ( )
