A runaway bride and a determined bachelor . . .

Lady Gardenia has no desire to marry the horrid duke her father has chosen for her, but since her sister's escape, the Duke of Crossings is more domineering than ever.

So when Nia is faced with vowing to love, honor, and obey during her wedding ceremony, she is presented with one final choice: marry the horrible Duke of Dewberry, or reach for freedom and run away from her own wedding.

And if she runs, where on earth will she go?

Perhaps the Baron of Westcott can be of assistance . . .
