Official synopsis Publisher
Another “sinfully sexy romance” (Booklist) in New York Times bestselling author Julia London’s Scandalous series about an arranged marriage that may end in misery or true love.
On the run from the wrathful Prince of Wales, Jack Haines, Earl of Lambourne, is taken prisoner by a Highland laird who makes him an unusual offer: if Jack handfasts his niece, then his life will be spared. The old Highland custom—a marriage lasting only a year and a day, unless both partners agree to make it a lifelong vow—sounds preferable to being dragged back to London in chains, and when Jack meets lovely Lizzie Beal, his dilemma starts to seem positively enjoyable. Until the hellion unleashes her fury.
Detesting the scandalous match that will end all her chances of making a respectable marriage, Lizzie can’t abide living intimately with a fugitive nobleman bent on seducing her and then running off. But in teaching her the pleasures of married life, Jack sparks within them both a passion that will make him wish he could stay with Lizzie for much longer than a year and a day.
