   Summary

   Kate had groaned, letting her head fall to the bar with a thunk. "Everyone in here tonight was awful."
   Anthony chuckled, pushing his glasses up his nose, something in his smile making her heart pound in her chest as his hands fluttered in the air, his lips moving in time with his soundless words. "I might take offence to that."
   "Not you." She'd swatted at him. "You're still my guy."
   Their eyes caught together and their fingers intertwined charged just as it had been last time they'd fallen into her bed and their lips had crashed together, and her fingernails had bitten into his shoulders. And she ached for it all over again.
   "Come back to mine. I'll steal your money at cards."

   OR
   If Kate Sharma really thought about it, she’d been in love with Anthony Bridgerton since she knew what love was. Every time they lay together in the after and never spoke about what had happened between them she told herself it would never happen again, but it always happened again

   OR
   Anthony Bridgerton watched his mother after his father died and told himself he'd never put anyone through that. Which is why he kept Kate at arm's length and told himself he was doing this so he never hurt her only himself
