Search - Bond of Destiny (Harlequin Romance, No 3102)

This is a ridiculously sweet story. Damien Hunt and Victoria Kendal are the children of family members who co-own a textile mill. Victoria is being raised by her old fashioned grandfather, who doesn’t think that women have any place in business. Damien is a decade older than Victoria, but is desperately attracted to her. She falls for him and agrees to marry him. When she informs her grandfather he can’t help but gloat that his plan to have her and Damien wed so that he can manage the mill has come to fruition. Hurt and outraged that Damien only wanted her for the business, Victoria flees to London where she becomes a model. Now her grandfather is dead, Victoria is back at the mill, and her grandfather’s will says she must marry Damien in order to inherit her half of the company. Victoria is angry, Damien is determined to marry her, and despite further misunderstandings and more running away the end works out beautifully.
