Rake on the Run
He’s dodged marriage traps for years… so naturally the one woman who sees through him is the one he can’t escape.
Lord Nathaniel Westlake has dodged furious fathers and marriage-minded daughters aiming to drag him to the altar. After his latest close call, he bolts onto the first ship he can find…only to discover it’s headed for India! As if that isn't bad enough, the only eligible woman aboard is Miss Justina Tinsdale, a woman who remembers every one of his past follies. With nowhere to hide, Nathan must face the one thing he’s always outrun: himself.
Justina planned on an uneventful voyage, not months of forced proximity with the man who once made a mockery of her good opinion. Yet the longer they sail, the more she glimpses a version of him she never knew existed—steadfast, sincere, and far too tempting. But is it genuine growth… or simply the charm of a confined deck and a handsome rake with nowhere else to go?
He’s determined to avoid another heartbreak. She’s certain he’s only after conquest. On a ship halfway to India, trust is a treacherous sea—and one wrong step could sink them both.
