Not when other women are in danger - and a secret promise to keep in Edinburgh. But Dougal's ploy to bring her back to London and outsmart her family will be easier than staying away from his intoxicating kisses. . . He is the Baron's second son who is used to doing his own thing and revealing the truth. Now Dougal must keep Lady Elizabeth close for his own protection, but her feisty tricks prove outrageously irresistible. His toughest case yet will show her that he is everything she really wants - and that love is the greatest adventure. . . “Before I knew it, the extremely strong and well-developed characters of The Taken Bride crept in and captured my full attention. It's one of the best short books I've ever read." — Delle Jacobs, author of Lady Wicked 39,700 Words

When the filthy, smelly pagan who stole it tells her she's his indentured bride, she refuses to believe him. Apart from the fact that she is going to marry someone else, she wants nothing to do with a man who would disgrace her by keeping his fat girlfriend at home. She had no choice but to run away. She manages to outsmart the stinking madman and stays hidden for several days. Hunger and thirst drive her out of hiding, and she is enraged when she is recaptured. The final blow to her freedom is the contract he shoves in her face, declaring that everything he said was true. Defeated but still proud, she consents to the marriage but refuses to share her bed with him, and to keep him away from her, she has refused bathing and chastity. It's time to fetch his fiancée, and Cameron has sent men to fetch her. When he saw her and was drawn to her sweet, clean scent, he knew he had to have her. Her beauty was another reason why he decided to marry her. Although he hadn't slept with his mistress in some time, he realized he had made a tactical error in letting her stay. His bride's insults sometimes offended and amused him. He was furious when she somehow managed to escape the locked room. He constantly searches for her without success. She couldn't sneak out, so it just meant she was hiding somewhere nearby. He is determined to find her, and once he does, they will marry right away. As the days go by, he becomes more and more concerned for her safety, but eventually, when he is desperate, she reappears. When she sees proof that she is telling the truth, she reluctantly agrees to marry him, but is mistaken that she gave him up and caused trouble.
