Taken by the Earl (en Inglés) - Suzanna Medeiros

A desperate rescue. A scandalous elopement. A love neither of them expected.

Miss Diana Atherton is no longer the lively girl I once knew. Now she is a quiet wallflower, hidden beneath drab gowns and the watchful eyes of the guardians who control her fortune.

When I overhear a chilling threat, I realize that Diana isn't merely neglected. She's in danger, and to keep her safe, I must take her.

An elopement to Gretna Green will place her inheritance beyond her guardians' reach and ensure her safety. It should be a practical arrangement between two people who barely know each other.

But at some point on the road north, everything changes when Diana's shy demeanor begins to fade away. In its place stands a woman I can no longer resist.

Now I'm racing toward the Scottish border with a bride I never intended to take. And for the first time in my life, I'm beginning to wonder if the greatest risk isn't losing my freedom but losing her.

Perfect for readers who love rescued heroines, forced proximity, road-to-Gretna-Green elopements, protective heroes, and cynical lords who fall the hardest. TAKEN BY THE EARL delivers scandal, danger, and a romance worth risking everything for.
