Judith Law is the sibling with no future so her parents send her off to become a companion to her wealthy aunt. Her first stagecoach ride proves unromantically tedious until an accident leads to the overturning of the vehicle. Lord Rannulf Bedwyn rescues the damsel in distress. Read more...

Summary

With his laughing eyes and wild, rakish good looks, Lord Rannulf Bedwyn is a hard man to resist. To Judith Law, a woman in need of rescue when the stagecoach in which she is traveling overturns, Rannulf is simply her savior, her dream come true, an heroic stranger with whom she will allow herself one night of reckless passion before she must settle to the dreary life of companion to her wealthy aunt.

Judith holds firm against all Rannulf's advances, both honorable and otherwise. But then scandal rocks the household and threatens her name and her very liberty, and it is Rannulf who rides to her rescue--bringing all the considerable power and influence of the Bedwyns to her defense.
