Book Description:
What can a respectable Regency miss do when kidnapped by a nobleman intent on marriage? Why, marry him, of course.
Julia Frant has secretly loved Alec MacLean, the wild Viscount Hunterston from afar. So when he accidentally snatches her instead of her lovely, scheming cousin for an elopement to Gretna Green, Julia leaps at the chance to make her passionate dreams come true.
Alec's in no position to quibble: if he doesn't marry by midnight and live scandal-free for a year, he loses his inheritance. At least marriage with do-gooder Julia will guarantee his fortune.
But as his plain brown wren transforms herself into an elegant swan, Alec suddenly can't stay away from his last-minute wife -- and when he kisses her, the inheritance is the last thing on his mind. Unfortunately, scandal can occur from the best of intentions... and Julia is never short of good intentions!

This is Book 1 of 3 in the Abduction/Seduction Trilogy and a delghtful intro it is. I'm now starting Book 2: "A Belated Bride" and hope to finish the trio with Book 3: "The Seduction of Sara". Good reading!

Sarah W. (This is a wonderful book. You have all of the things a book needs: Jealousy, Scandal, an Ugly Duckling, and last but not least a perfect ending.
It's basically about a missish cousin of a selfish debutante who hatches a plan with the hero to inherit a fortune. She plans to use it for noble causes such as funding a chairity and he plans to gamble and drink it away. So wouldn't you know their heads lock at every turn while the villians try to ruin them.
Great Read!
According to the terms of his grandfather's will, Alec MacLean has to marry "the daughter of the Earl of Fant" to inherit a much needed fortune. He arranges to elope with the miss in question, but she double crosses him and doesn't show up. Her cousin, Julia, the ubiquitous companion, does - she thinks it's a hackney and gets in.
Alec is of course furious, but what can he do? Julia gets tipsy and suggests a solution...
An enjoyable story, all in all. I'm a bit tired of the "I won't sleep with you even though we're married and we can't get a divorce in this day and age and you probably want children" etc story, but I realise that authors DO have to provide a way to delay the sex scenes till the middle of the book. :)
Average historical romance. It was a very decent read, but just not a 'keeper' for me.
He needs to marry and live scandle free for a year to keep his inheritance. He snatches someone and is off to gretna green before he realizes it is not the woman he intended. But she transforms right before his eyes and he cannot leave his wife alone. but the scandles come anyway. will he make it
