Kidnapped once? Unfortunate. Kidnapped twice? Just Una Murray's luck.
When fearsome raider Cormac Stewart (otherwise known as 'the Shadow') stops a cart and jokingly demands Your money or your wife, he expects gold-not to have a furious, trussed-up lass literally thrown at him while her captors flee into the hills. Now he's stuck with a sharp-tongued spitfire who won't stop glaring... and won't stop making his heart race.
Una Murray should have just stayed in bed. Instead, she's been kidnapped, re-kidnapped, and mistaken for a wealthy thane's daughter worth a king's ransom. The only problem? She's a simple seamstress who runs a sewing school, and the ransom everyone's expecting will never come.
With her captors demanding payment that doesn't exist and Cormac's reputation on the line, there's only one way out of this disaster: Marriage. To each other. What could possibly go wrong?
Tropes: Mistaken identity - Double kidnapping - Marriage of convenience - Enemies to lovers - Forced proximity - Hidden secrets.
