It is a war waged in tailored show coats, cutting remarks, and the rarefied, ridiculous world of elite dressage. Elizabeth has no patience for arrogant billionaires who think breeding fees and imported horses make them kings. Darcy has even less patience for clever women who see straight through his polished exterior and dare to laugh at the whole glittering performance. ...
