Melbourne 1925Bec Cross is a progressive 1920s woman who believes women are capable of far more than men give them credit for. Like her mother and grandmother, she is determined never to be bridled by marriage.Bachelor Daniel Sinclair is well acquainted with Bec's feminist views. Brother of her best friend, they are regular sparring partners. He's an advocate for a married woman confining herself to the role of wife and mother.When Bec unwittingly emerges as Daniel's answer to securing a promotion and a stepping stone to a much-prized political career, he is determined to change her mind - kiss by kiss.Their attraction is undeniable. But Bec's head has always ruled her heart, and Daniel's kisses - however beguiling - will never persuade her to settle for anything less than equality in life and love.How infuriating to find her heart waging its own battle in support of Daniel's desires. But she'll be damned before she surrenders to a man peddling nineteenth-century notions.
