In this fast, feel-good romp from a New York Times bestselling author, forbidden love blooms between a runaway bride and the man sent to find her…
Lady Tabitha Kerr was promised at birth to be the Viscount Oldfield’s bride. Their families had warred for generations, and this union will heal the longstanding rift. But Tabitha doesn’t want to be a pawn—or a consolation prize. She dreams of a love match, and failing that, at least one night of true love. Even if she has to run away to find it!
As Viscount Oldfield’s trusted man of business, Mr. Hudson Frampton is his lordship’s right-hand man, attack dog, and fixer. When a nervous bride jilts the viscount at the altar, Hudson is meant to find and return her to his employer posthaste. He is not supposed to fall in love. Or kiss his employer’s bride. Or say yes when Tabitha makes an indecent proposal that will ruin them both…
My thoughts
My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.
This was an engaging read, telling the story of Lady Tabitha Kerr who had been promised at birth by her father to try and ease tension between their family and the family of Viscount Oldfield. Sadly, Viscount Oldfield and his reputation go before him and are not quite the sort of man that she would like to marry.
As Lady Tabitha comes to terms with what she has to face up to in order to please her father who is not in the best of health, she decides that she can't go through with it and jilts the Viscount at the altar.
As the Viscount is keen to find her, step in one of his employees Mr Hudson Frampton. However, things don't go to plan and it's not long before things take a turn between Tabitha and Hudson that were most certainly not supposed to happen.
What will they do as they both realise that things between them are not what should be happening?
It was a quick read, that kept me reading when I should have been doing other things as I wanted to find out what was going to happen to them all.
