The Earl's Runaway Bride

"You are the woman I am promised to marry tomorrow morning."

Frances Holt never asked to be anyone's bargain. When her father's debts are settled with a single stroke of a solicitor's pen, and her name is signed to a contract before she is ever consulted, she flees into the night rather than sit through the reading of it, and runs headlong into the one man she was running from all along.

Adam Wexford, Earl of Wexford, wants no bride he did not choose himself. Two years of grief have hardened him into exactly the man Society whispers about, cold, unreachable, and entirely uninterested in a wife forced upon him by his own late uncle's debt. He does not expect the woman waiting for him under the trees to be the only person in Kent brave enough to meet his eyes and refuse to look away.

Their marriage was meant to be nothing more than a debt quietly settled. But a jealous cousin has other plans, and when whispered scandal curdles into real danger, and Frankie is taken from him in broad daylight, Adam will learn precisely how far a man will go for a wife he swore, that first night in the wood, he never wanted.

A runaway heroine with nothing left to lose. A brooding earl guarding a grief he has never spoken aloud—a cousin who will stop at nothing to keep them apart. THE EARL'S RUNAWAY BRIDE is a deeply romantic Regency of forced proximity and slow-burn longing, for readers who want their heroes guarded and their happy endings hard-won. Book Three of The Earls—a complete story you can read on its own.
