In this heartfelt reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, childhood antagonists discover the fine line between love and hate.
Caterina Willmott and Christopher Petruchio shared a backyard as children, but as adults they no longer share the same hemisphere. That is, until Kate makes a rare visit to her hometown and their bitter rivalry erupts into hell again.
Despite pleas for peace from his friends and family, Christopher is unconvinced by Kate’s willingness to extinguish the flames of their hostility. But when a drunk Kate confesses that she was only being hostile because she thought he hated her, Christopher vows to reconcile with Kate once and for all. It’s tempting to fall in love with a nemesis-turned-gentleman, but Kate isn’t sure she can trust his charming good natured man.
When Christopher’s persistence and Kate’s curiosity lead to a passionate kiss, they realize that “peace” is the last thing that can come true between them. As desire gives way to deeper emotions, Kate and Christopher must decide whether it’s really better to hate than not to risk their hearts, or if they’ve given it up long ago. .
