Story of Jess and Max - She is a fashion designer who puts together a wedding trousse but the perspective bride elopes. Max inssites she takes the place of the runaway bride. Very good quick read.

Back cover:
It was blackmail, pure & simple

Jess couldn't believe what was happening. 1 day, she was consoling a young bride who didn't want to be 1, & the next she was confronted by the furious groom. He blamed Jess for his fiancee's elopement w/ another man!

Merely venting his anger wasn't enough for Max, the earl of Blythe, however. He demanded that Jess substitute for his runaway bride. If she didn't, he'd use his influence to destory her fledgling career as a fashion designer.

And when he kissed her to seal the bargain, Jess's frantic swipe across her mouth failed to erase the fire he'd ignited there.
