Resumen del Editor

When the history and character of her Shakespeare-obsessed hometown is threatened, a powerhouse lawyer goes toe to toe with a commercial developer in a hilarious rom-com from the author of For the Love of the Bard.

Portia Barnes is the youngest managing partner in her law firm’s history, and she and her stilettos are poised to step into the role of her dreams—leading the firm’s new Boston office. But first she’s taking a summer sabbatical in her hometown of Bard’s Rest, New Hampshire, where she discovers something’s rotten in the midst of the town’s annual Shakespeare festival.

Hotshot commercial developer Benjamin Dane is sniffing around Bard’s, and while Portia isn’t necessarily a Shakespeare fanatic like the rest of her family, she’s not about to let him bulldoze the town’s beloved outdoor theater. Yet to Portia’s dismay, Ben proves as skilled as she is when it comes to outworking, outmaneuvering, and one-upping the competition. While she’s never hesitated to wage war against hyper-successful alpha males, Portia is caught off guard by Ben’s openness and lack of arrogance. As her own long-constructed walls start to come down, Portia begins to wonder if he might be more than an archnemesis.

With her heart on the line and the future of the town hanging in the balance, Portia faces an impossible decision—Ben or Bard’s?—unless she finds a way to broker the merger of her life, and ensures the curtain falls on a happy ending for everyone.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The banter is as sharp as Portia's shark-like instincts in Jessica Martin's The Dane of My Existence! This book had everything—a truly inspired commitment to Shakespeare and puns and Shakespeare puns, a charming rescue pup, and two corporate types making creative use of a desk. The only way I could possibly have more fun is if Bard's Rest was a real place."—Alicia Thompson, national bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

"Martin’s cast is dynamic and winsome, and the fiery chemistry between Portia and Ben will leave readers wanting more. This is sure to scratch the itch for fans of the enemies-to-lovers trope.”—Publishers Weekly

Loved this 2nd book of Bard’s

Great characters, dialogue and not predictable. Hoping for a Cordelia book. Enjoyed the narration and setting in NH and Boston
