Forbidden Love (St. John #8)

A woman running away from her own wedding on your stolen horse and then proposing to you is not the most romantic way to start a marriage, but then again, Zachary Hollingsworth is not the most suitable husband either. He is known throughout London for his philandering ways, but when Lady Rayne, the Duke of Clandon’s daughter, makes a proposition that he can’t resist, how can he turn her down?

Rayne always dreamed of a knight in shining armor rescuing her from her father and whisking her away to a far-off land to live happily ever after. But her knight turned out to be a toad and her rescuer is far from the perfect choice. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and if bribing her rescuer into marrying her saves her from an unwanted marriage, so be it.

As Zachary and Rayne battle the emotions pulling them together, they must keep a wary eye on Rayne’s former fiancé, the Viscount of Blackwell. With the fear of Blackwell’s retaliation nipping at their heels and the duke demanding that their marriage be annulled, can Zachary and Rayne quell their past and find happiness in their forbidden love?
