Description
Lady Viola has little regard for family; hers never cared for her. None of them, not even her brother the physician, ever helped her through her bouts of melancholy.
She’ll be damned if she’ll leave the Duchess’ court to wait on her now-widowed mother.
No, she’ll be married.
Desperate for the shelter of marriage, Viola must hurry and kidnap herself a husband.
Lee Waite has returned from wandering England’s wilder corners, finally healed from the war. He’s ready to marry someone sturdy enough to withstand the winds of fate. That doesn’t describe his best friend’s delicate, determined sister. She’s a creature of the heights of society, which never welcomed him; and he knows better than anyone that her brother’s a crack shot.
Once captured, Waite must see to Lady Viola’s safety. The more each learns about what the other has survived, the closer they come.
And the more desperate he is to escape her lord trap before she learns what kind of a man she’s captured.
