Newly made English earl Grimme Kyneward must take a noblewoman to wife to keep his lands and his life, but even if he knew how to woo a woman, he doesn't have time to do it properly. What does a knight do when he has no prospects for a bride, but needs to get one as quickly as possible? He snatches her, of course. Never mind that Lady Br ghde F ileach is the wrong bride; she has her own reasons for wanting to marry the first earl who plucks her out of her wedding just before she's forced to say "I do." That the earl has a deep and abiding aversion to brunettes is convenient for her, and the fact that he is also in need of a castellain to run his chaotic household is even better. She is fully aware that a man in need of a noble wife will also be in need of legitimate heirs, but she readily agrees to it, freeing her from her father and fianc forever, and giving her power to rule his household, which includes all his mistresses and bastard sons. Grimme has no desire to bed Br ghde, but he must have a legitimate heir. Br ghde has no need to bed Grimme, but she's absolutely certain she'll enjoy the experience. And on the journey from her wedding to his lands, Grimme and Br ghde forge a friendship Grimme is certain will last forever ... ... but for Grimme's ravenous liege who covets everything Grimme loves and will kill to get it.
