The Fleeing Heiress A Gallant Rescuer The lovely heiress, Miss Thea Stafford, has just come into her own. But in the bat of an eye, her hopes for a happy life are dashed like the chards of her mother’s porcelain. One night, her sister’s betrothed kidnaps Thea—with less- than-honorable intentions. And she knows, as any proper young lady would, that even one evening sans chaperone will be the ruin of her, no matter who is to blame… Lord Cardiff, enjoying a languid vacation after years in the trenches of Spain, has stopped at a country inn. It is there that he finds Miss Stafford—and rescues her from an uncertain fate. But when her two weapon-wielding brothers and father turn up, Lord Cardiff realizes he has only two options: either marry the heiress—or be executed on the spot. Now, it will take something more dangerous than weapons to turn this situation around: something called love…
