“This daring, emotional page-turner is a delight.” —Publishers Weekly
When Eva de Courtney kidnaps Godric Fleming, her only plan is to stop the irritating earl from persecuting her beloved brother. But once she has the intriguing rogue in the confines of her carriage, she longs to taste the passion she senses simmering beneath his rugged exterior. Her forbidden plan is foiled, however, when Godric turns the tables, taking her hostage instead—and demanding they marry at once…
The last thing Godric wants to do is make the fiery, impulsive Eva his wife, despite her delectable mouth and alluring innocence. He knows from experience that nothing is forever, not even love. 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…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The kidnapper becomes the kidnapped in Spencer's rowdy second Rebels of the Ton historical romance (after Notorious). Godric Fleming, Earl of Visel, is moments away from kidnapping the wife of his nemesis, Gabriel, as part of his ever-escalating schemes against the couple—but it's he who ends up bound and gagged in a carriage bound for Scotland. His abductor is Eva de Courtney, Gabriel's sister, who hopes to put an end to Godric's bad behavior. But Godric turns the tables on Eva, pointing out she's put herself in a compromising situation and insisting that they marry. As they match wits, Godric is surprised by Eva's fiery temper, realizing that, though almost 17 years his junior, she's a formidable—and attractive—adversary. Eva, too, sees a different side of Godric as threats from highwaymen and a vengeful widow force them to work together. But Godric's pain and guilt over the loss of his first wife and child have created a wall around his heart that even Eva may not be strong enough to scale. The exciting drama of their road trip only facilitates their individual growth, and returning fans will be especially gratified to see the villainous Godric in a new light. This daring, emotional page-turner is a delight.
Customer Reviews
Revenge gone wrong!
A twist……the beautiful Eva de Courtney is out for revenge. She kidnaps her brother’s arch enemy Lord Godric Visel. Both have anger issues, Eva because her mother killed herself and was thought mad. Godric due to that fact he lost all is family is a short period of time. Eva being hotheaded didn’t think that now that she was alone with Godric the only outcome was they now need to marry.
Godric is for once going to do the right thing. A series of mishaps and sparks that fly between the two makes it a fast read. It does seem Eva comes off a little too unrealistic, but overall I enjoyed it.
