Lauren Royal

Lauren Royal's sparkling debut introduced the Chases, one of the most engaging families to appear in romance fiction. Now, she treats us to the passionate adventure of Jason Chase, the Marquess of Cainewood...

It was chance . . .

Jason Chase is on a headlong mission to bring a scoundrel to justice when he smacks headfirst into a hapless Scottish lad--who happens to be a lovely lass. Though she claims she's headed to London on family business, Jason's convinced she's a notorious bounty hunter and that they're after the same man. He refuses to let her out of his sight.

It was destiny . . .
Caithren Leslie longs to be rid of the handsome, overbearing Englishman, yet recognizes the danger of traveling alone among rogues and highwaymen. Though Jason claims he's a commoner, Cait suspects he's of noble birth. And as combat becomes companionship, and travel reveals truth, Jason and Cait discover that appearances can be most deceptive . . . and admit that the only quest that matters is the one for love.
