The Accidental Elopement - Paperback

by Beverley Oakley (Author)

Friends at seven, lovers at seventeen, Katherine and Jack were meant to be together.

But when a tragic mistake results in marriage to the wrong man for Katherine, a heartbroken Jack heads to foreign lands to make his fortune.

Now Jack is returning and Katherine is a widow, eagerly awaiting the only man she's ever loved.

Experience has taught her to value even more his qualities of honour and bravery, while his humour and playfulness are ever on her mind, a counterpoint to her years of living with a humourless husband.

But to Katherine's dismay, she learns that Jack is returning with his betrothed, a woman he agreed to marry abroad.

Katherine knows Jack can't possibly love this woman as he'd loved her. She also knows she has the power to win him back. But Jack has equally compelling reasons for going forward with the betrothal he contracted in the West Indies.

Will love or honour prevail?

This is Book 4 of the Scandalous Miss Brightwells series though it can be read as a standalone.

What readers are saying:

"This book kept me hanging until the very last page... but the agony of not knowing the twists and turns until they were on me made it the most splendid adventure."

"Great plot and characters which will keep you turning pages. Hope there are more to come."

If you love your romance sprinkled with scandal, sizzle and with a wicked twist at the end, you'll love The Accidental Elopement.
