520    "The course of true love is anything but smooth as 
       childhood enemies discover the fine line between love and 
       hate in this heartfelt reimagining of Shakespeare's The 
       Taming of the Shrew. Katerina Wilmot and Christopher 
       Petruchio shared backyards as kids, but as adults they 
       won't even share the same hemisphere. That is, until Kate 
       makes a rare visit home, and their fiery animosity 
       rekindles into a raging inferno. Despite their friends' 
       and families' pleas for peace, Christopher is unconvinced 
       Kate would willingly douse the flames of their enmity. But
       when drunken Kate confesses she's only been hostile 
       because she thought he hated her, Christopher vows to make
       peace with Kate after all. Tempting as it is to be swept 
       away when her nemesis transforms overnight into a caring 
       gentleman who woos Kate with her favorite foods, flowers, 
       and flattering words, she doesn't trust his charming good-
       guy act. When Christopher's persistence and Kate's 
       curiosity lead to an impassioned kiss, they realize 
       "peace" is the last thing that will ever be possible 
       between them. As desire gives way to deeper feelings, Kate
       and Christopher must decide if it's truly better to hate 
       than to never risk their hearts-or if they already gave 
       them away long ago"--|cProvided by publisher.
