Synopsis

On the run from the wrathful Prince of Wales, Jack Haines, Earl of Lambourne, is taken prisoner by a Highland laird who makes him an unusual offer: if Jack handfasts his niece, then his life will be spared. The old Highland custom – a marriage lasting only a year and a day, unless both partners agree to make it a lifelong vow – sounds preferable to Jack to being dragged to London in chains, and when he meets lovely Lizzie Beal, his dilemma starts to seem positively enjoyable. Until the hellion vents her fury…on him! Detesting the scandalous match that will end all her chances of making a respectable marriage, Lizzie can’t abide living intimately with a fugitive nobleman bent on seducing her and then running off. But in teaching her the pleasures of a wife’s duties, Jack sparks within them both a passion that will make him wish he could stay with Lizzie for much longer than a year and a day.

Goodreads review by Miranda

Got bogged down halfway, what with all the "when the year is up I'm outta here talk between H/h. Background, discussed in depth elsewhere I'm sure, the H/h are by hook and crook hand-fasted for a year and forced to live as man and wife to satisfy her father for his own nefarious reasons. There was p......more

Goodreads review by Angelc

I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. The plot could have been cute, but unfortunately, I felt like I never really got to know the characters. Complete strangers, Jack Haines, the Earl of Lambourne, and Scottish Lizzie Beal are locked into a handfasting agreement against their wills.......more
