Book excerpt: Susan Hamilton was running away, determined to escape a forced marriage as her world fell apart. She thought evil step-mothers were only in fairy tales, but she was wrong. James, the Earl of Malmesbury, convinces Susan to become his pretend betrothed to throw off an evil pursuer, but when she captures his heart, can he persuade his reluctant bride to say yes, forever? "But what about you, James?" Susan replied. "Now that my fortune has turned, we can stop this engagement. This is no longer fair to you; things have gotten out of hand." Susan's breath caught as he moved in closer with steel in his eyes. Before she could think, his lips came down to claim her mouth in a kiss so intoxicating, she felt it through the breadth of her body. He pulled back just as quickly, leaving her breathless... She watched in a stupor as, his retreating figure left the room... She raised her finger to her lips, his words echoing in her head. She had given him a chance to be free, but he did not take it.
