By Kerri Kastle

He knew from the very moment he set eyes on her that he wanted her. And he always gets what he wants. Annabel Preston refuses to get married to some reclusive countryside Marquess at her obnoxious half-brother's behest. And although her fate is set in stone, she's determined to escape it. So, when the time comes for her to be delivered to her intended husband's home, she does only the sensible thing; she secretly leaves. Having had his heart broken once, Marquess Luke Ashton couldn't care less about love and the complexities that it entails. However, he has a duty to uphold as the heir to the Ashton estate. So, when the earl of Preston proposed marriage to his only sister, he agreed only because of the political benefits attached to the union. However, when the marquess got news of his bride-to-be's disappearance, he didn't know whether to be amused or offended. On one hand, he's intrigued by her bold defiance but also, he can't forgive the potential damage to his family's reputation. Driven by a sense of duty, Luke embarks on a pursuit to bring Annabel back and salvage the arranged marriage. But Annabel Preston is nothing like he expected. She's unlike any woman he'd ever met. Stubborn and fiercely independent, she tests his patience in more ways than one. However, he can't deny her breathtaking beauty and his striking attraction to her.
