Romance Historical
On the run from the wrathful Prince of Wales, Jack Haines,
Earl of Lambourne, is taken prisoner by a Highland laird
who makes him an unusual offer: if Jack handfasts his
niece, then his life will be spared. The old Highland
custom -- a marriage lasting only a year and a day, unless
both partners agree to make it a lifelong vow -- sounds
preferable to Jack to being dragged to London in chains,
and when he meets lovely Lizzie Beal, his dilemma starts
to seem positively enjoyable. Until the hellion vents her
fury...on him!
Detesting the scandalous match that will
end all her chances of making a respectable marriage,
Lizzie can't abide living intimately with a fugitive
nobleman bent on seducing her and then running off. But in
teaching her the pleasures of a wife's duties, Jack sparks
within them both a passion that will make him wish he
could stay with Lizzie for much longer than a year and a
day.
Sparks fly as a forced hand-fasting produces surprising repercussions for both parties.
