The Scandalous Elopement

A Regency Romance of Rescues, Revenge, and a Love Worth Fighting For

Miss Isabelle Stamford never imagined her sharp tongue and refusal to bow to London’s reigning queen of the Ton would leave her fighting for her life. After a vicious attack orchestrated by the cruel and powerful Charlotte, Lady Bruxton, Isabelle is rescued from near death by James Fitzsimmons, the Earl of Kenworth—a man she’s loathed since childhood. His interference once earned her countless scoldings, and now, it threatens to ruin her reputation forever. To protect Isabelle from scandal, James insists they conceal the event. But secrets have a way of finding the light in London’s gossip-filled ballrooms.

When whispers of their late-night rendezvous spread like wildfire, James knows there’s only one way to salvage Isabelle’s standing: he must offer for her hand. A forced engagement to the childhood nemesis who exasperates her at every turn was certainly not in Isabelle’s plans. Yet, as they’re thrown together, Isabelle discovers a kinder, more vulnerable side to James, and the smoldering attraction between them begins to burn brighter.

But Lady Bruxton is not about to let her rival find happiness. As James and Isabelle dodge malicious rumors and sabotage attempts, Charlotte sends her most dangerous ally to ensure the elopement to Gretna Green never takes place. Faced with danger, deception, and their own tangled hearts, James and Isabelle must confront their past and decide if a love born of scandal can truly survive the challenges ahead.

Packed with sizzling chemistry, a forced-proximity romance, and a dash of high-stakes intrigue, The Scandalous Elopement is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, marriage-of-convenience, and daring escapes to happily ever after.
