Gabriel has gone from being the heir to his father’s sizeable empire to having to adjust to a whole new family—and country. He doesn’t want to fit in, necessarily, but he’d be grateful to get through the Season without becoming ensnared in any more scandals. But Gabriel doesn’t have any choice when he thinks a drunken fop is molesting his sister’s best friend.
Gabe isn’t especially fond of Drusilla Clare, but he is honor bound to step in and protect the prickly young woman.
But no good deed goes unpunished and in the blink of an eye Gabe finds himself engaged to wed the luscious, but extremely argumentative, heiress.
There’s no denying that Eva de Courtney is one of the most beautiful women in London. Unfortunately, she’s also outspoken to the point of rudeness, wayward to the point of rebelliousness, and—worst of all—she’s soon to be his wife.
Lord Godric Visel can’t believe the impetuous chit failed to realize that kidnapping him from the Duke of Richmond’s party has doomed both of them to a life of mutual hell. Or marriage, in other words.
James loves and admires his mistress—Eva de Courtney—and the two are more like brother and sister than employer and groom. They grew up together on the Marquess of Exley’s country estate, their heads filled with dreams of one day having their own stud farm.
She’s led them both into more scrapes than he can count, but maybe she’s taken things too far this time? Maybe he shouldn’t have followed her so blindly on this particular scheme?
What if the best thing that James can do for Eva is the one thing that might end their friendship forever?

But honor demands he do right by the lady, no matter how stubbornly Eva tries to hold on to her independence. And while the road to the Scottish border is beset with danger, Godric’s greatest challenge is to keep his hands–and his heart–from his captivating bride-to-be…
