If you can\'t join them, beat them.
Yet winning might be the very thing to tear them apart..
Lines are drawn all around them, with Marigold and Tristan on opposite sides, and neither can afford to lose.
The strained tension between them quickly turns to simmering attraction, but an important archery competition looms ahead.
However, after a visit to the seashore ends in disaster-and scandal-Marigold and Tristan soon realize how little they know about each other.
He has no time to entertain Marigold\'s ambitions.
But Tristan has enough worries of his own, what with his bachelor uncle falling in love with a fortune hunter.
He knows how relentless she can be, something he learned firsthand facing her at the targets.
Tristan Gates is used to Marigold Cartwell always getting her way, so he is far from surprised when she forms her own society.
Naturally, it has only one rule: no men.
Spurred on by their rejection, Marigold decides to start a new society.
She knows she can outshoot irritating, cynical Tristan Gates, but the local bowmen\'s society-the one he belongs to-refuses to allow women to compete.
Marigold Cartwell has only one goal: to defeat her long-time rival on the archery field.
