Clever, witty and written with a style you cannot help but love, Elizabeth Boyle has charmed us with each successive book and Stealing the Bride is no exception.
The Marquis of Templeton (cousin to Colin Danvers from One Night of Passion) has faced every sort of danger in his work for the King, but chasing after a wayward spinster who's had the effrontery to run off with the wrong man hardly seems worth his considerable talents. But when the heiress in question is none other than Lady Diana Fordham, Temple is about to meet his match. Tempestuous and passionate, headstrong and opinionated, the lady is everything a man should avoid – everything a man is attracted to.
Diana has no intention of making Temple's assignment easy. In fact she has every reason to turn his life upside down, just as he did to hers when he broke her heart years ago. Now it's Diana's turn to give Temple a lesson in love, from a teasing glance to a scandalous embrace. However, as she leads him on a merry chase from London to Gretna Green, they soon realize that a kiss once given is hard to forget, and a rekindled passion is impossible to deny.
The fire between Diana and Temple never did die, it simply fizzled away for a while, waiting to combust. And, wow, does it combust!
Temple stuck his arm out to block her escape, then with the handle of his walking stick, he tipped back his tall beaver hat so he could look her directly in the eye. “There now, Lady Diana, you needn't try to bamboozle me with your fancy Bath manners. While I'm sure your father spent a fortune to see you well schooled, it is obvious his money was ill spent. Why, I can see from your expression you'd like nothing more than to pluck the ribbons from that hat and strangle me with them. But then again, you've never been like the rest of these ordinary girls they try to pass off as Originals, now have you?”
Diana's gaze flew up, fully expecting to find the marquis' mocking glance staring down at her, but there was something altogether different glimmering behind his dark, mysterious eyes.
A light daring her to contradict him. To disprove his words, and just be ordinary.
Or even, she found herself thinking, an offer to be more than just a well-mannered miss.
An offer she'd accepted from him once before...
