About this book

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.

Until the hellion vents her fury...on him! Detesting the scandalous match that will end all her chances of making a respectable marriage Lizzie cant abide living intimately with a fugitive nobleman bent on seducing her and then running off. But in teaching her the pleasures of a wifes 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.
