Kate has no patience for suitors—and even less for the rules that say she must marry before her younger sister can. Armed with wit, fury, and the occasional fist, she’s kept every match at bay.

Until Petruchio arrives, eager for the challenge.

In this battle of wills, who ends up transformed?

Featuring Emily Ann Banks*, Katy Castaldi*, Ryan Holmes*, Thane Madsen, Miriam Muriithi*, Frankie Otis, Tom Paolino*, George Pappas*, Anthony Simone*, Tarantino Smith*, Jack Sochet* and Vanessa Wendt*
