Runaway Bride

She was supposed to become his wife.

Instead, she disappeared on her wedding day.

Emma finally has the life she once dreamed of. She and Adrian Ashwood have survived betrayal, secrets, and everything that tried to tear them apart.

Now, on the day they are supposed to begin their forever, everything goes horribly wrong.

Emma vanishes from the Ashwood mansion before the wedding can even begin.

There is no ransom.

No explanation.

Only one terrifying message sent to Adrian:

Come alone if you want your wife back.

Adrian has faced corporate enemies before. He has survived betrayal and fought for his empire.

But this time, the enemy has taken the one person he cannot afford to lose.

Desperate to find Emma, Adrian launches a ruthless search that takes him from hidden warehouses to old enemies and long-buried secrets. But every clue reveals something more disturbing.

Someone inside his own world helped make the kidnapping possible.

And the woman behind it all isn't interested in money.

She wants revenge.

Trapped in a dark room with no way out, Emma refuses to become a helpless victim. As she searches for a way to escape, she discovers that her kidnapping is part of a much larger plan—one designed to destroy Adrian by using the woman he loves most.

Then Emma discovers who is really behind the nightmare.

And Adrian realizes that finding his wife may cost him everything.

Because this isn't just a kidnapping.

It's war.

And when Adrian finally reaches Emma, he will have to fight not only to save her life—but to protect the future they were supposed to begin together.

But surviving the kidnapping may only be the beginning.

Because Emma has a secret.

And somewhere in the shadows, someone is already preparing the next move.
