#23 Kiss Hard by Nalini Singh

The fourth of the Hard Play series is less enemies to lovers than irritants to lovers.  Daniel and Catie have known one another since their teens thanks to Catie’s half sister marrying one of Danny’s older brothers.  There were never any sparks between them, but Catie did spend time at Esera family home for parties and holidays.  But when a chance photograph taken of them when Catie helps him out of a nightclub after being drugged, the tabloids go wild.  To hide the fact about the drugs they go along with the online narrative. But it seems that there is a spark between them, and prolonged closeness has started a wildfire they are not sure they want to put out. 

The story is as sweet as the others in this series and there is a HEA by the end of the book.  I liked the story and as usual the author doesn’t disappoint.  My only question is what happens next in this universe since I really like how she handles all the family dynamics.
