Nineteen-year-old Annie Andrews is a London spitfire with
a penchant for finding trouble wherever she is. Since her
parents' death she has been under the protection of her
married sister, Lily Colton. Both were poor until Lord
Colton fell in love and offered marriage to Lily. Leaving
on their honeymoon Lily needs to find a protector for Annie
as she has already tried to run off to Gretna Green to marry
Arthur Eggleston with whom she fancied herself in love.
Devastatingly handsome and rich Jordan Holloway, Earl of
Ashbourne, is the choice of chaperone for the little
nuisance of a sister and also Devon Colton's best friend.
Being the escape artist that she is, Annie gives Jordan a
run for his money. A confirmed bachelor still hurting from
a previous rejection, Jordan vows never to marry. He
decides to put forth all his efforts at finding a suitable
mate for Lily and is astounded when all hell breaks loose
and it backfires in his face. Jordan is jealous of every
prospect and the last thing he expects is for his conniving
little ward to weave a web of deceit to capture the handsome
rogue she has fallen in love with. Just wait to see what
lengths she is willing to go to get what she wants.
SECRETS OF A RUNAWAY BRIDE, a tale set in 1816 London, is an
absolutely delightful
read. Annie's character is so full of mischief and
persistence in getting what she wants; it completely keeps
you on your toes at every turn. There's no chance of
putting this one down because the young lady is so
unpredictable and keeps you glued to the page. Valerie
Bowman has written a very exciting little plot with a very
naughty young woman. I will definitely seek out other
novels by this author. A must read for hot sex and amusing
trysts with the opposite sex.
Miss Annie Andrews is finally free to marry the man she
loves. With her overprotective sister out of the country on
her honeymoon, nothing can prevent her flight to Gretna
Greene—nothing, that is, but an abduction by the wrong
gentleman.
THE SWEETNESS OF SURRENDER
When Jordan Holloway, the Earl of Ashbourne, promised to
look after his best friend's sister–in–law, he
didn't realize she would prove so difficult. But when he
spirits her away to his country house to prevent her
elopement, he discovers that the tempting beauty knows how
to put up a fight. To make matters worse, he's stuck playing
the role of honorable protector...when what he really wants
is to run away with her himself.
