Girl on the Run

IN HOT PURSUIT

Seventeen-year-old Lady Kaia was going to throw Lord Eben from the battlements if he called her "little one" again. And if her father bleated for the thousandth time that "a man does not want learning in a wife," he was going over as well. Men could be so thickheaded! But Kaia controlled her destiny: She was headed to a distant land where women were educated and could marry the man of their choosing.

When Lord Eben finally caught up to Lady Kaia, he was confounded by the chaotic feelings she evoked in him. Why in heaven's name did he kiss her senseless? And when had his childhood playmate turned so desirable? As Kaia slipped from his grasp once more, Eben realized that to capture the lady would take more than wisdom. He would offer his heart -- and hope she chose to stop running and start loving.
