Lady Tabitha Kerr was promised at birth to be the Viscount Oldfieldโs bride. Their families had warred for generations, and this union will heal the longstanding rift. But Tabitha doesnโt want to be a pawnโor a consolation prize. She dreams of a love match, and failing that, at least one night of true love. Even if she has to run away to find it!
As Viscount Oldfieldโs trusted man of business, Mr. Hudson Frampton is his lordshipโs right-hand man, attack dog, and fixer. When a nervous bride jilts the viscount at the altar, Hudson is meant to find and return her to his employer posthaste. He is not supposed to fall in love. Or kiss his employerโs bride. Or say yes when Tabitha makes an indecent proposal that will ruin them bothโฆ
