In the book "The Viscount Who Loved Me," Kate and Anthony don't meet until the first ball of the season. Their first encounter happens after Anthony dances with Edwina (much to Kate's dismay, knowing his reputation), and Kate meets Colin, who acknowledges Anthony's less-than-romantic courting plans. Their first conversation is downright hostile, although very charged, as Kate warns him away from Edwina and Anthony decides he enjoys the challenge.
The Netflix adaptation gives the pair an earlier first meeting that foreshadows their competitively flirtatiousness connection. Early one morning, on his way home from one of his many dalliances, Anthony spots a woman on horseback galloping across a field. He goes after her, thinking she needs help, but she goes even faster. When he finally catches up to her, she teases him for losing their "race" and they banter a bit. The woman is, of course, Kate, and they're clearly into each other. It sours quickly, though, when they meet again in society and Kate overhears Anthony discussing his intentions to marry without love.
