Description
May Berkeley gets called in to get rid of a beehive and gets to know the Purcells, specifically Eugene Purcell, a rational and sometimes middle son of a viscount. While the beekeeping business develops, so do the two's feelings as they keep bumping into each other's paths. ____ A short excerpt: "Regardless," he added, "I'm glad you took those dreadful, aggravated things away."

The same way you would seem to defend and protect your sister." "Miss, are you comparing me to bees?" "I believe I am, my lord. However, I think you are more of an angry creature than they are." His face heated and in a more hyperbolic setting, steam would have hissed out his ears. "Excuse me?! You do not get to come into my home and-" He stopped himself. He was proving the infuriating beekeeper right. Even the cat woke up. "Never mind."
