About this ebook

Innocent Angela Bainbridge knows her dreams of a fairy-tale wedding and finding passion in a man's embrace can never come true. So when she's swept into the arms of—and kidnapped by—notorious Lee Raven she's both righteously angry...and curiously captivated. There's something about this brazen outlaw that awakens Angela's desires. She knows any crimes he's committed are for the protection of his family, but Angela realizes that a lifetime together with Lee can never be...Lee Raven knows he's only two steps ahead of the law. But this innocent beauty has his head spinning and his heart longing for something more than a life on the run. She's made it clear that she's determined to discover all of his secrets—but how can he let her learn what's hidden in his past? And how can he let her give him her heart today, when he can't evenpromise her tomorrow?

Ratings and reviews

Very interesting! Gripping beginning with a twist for Angela's character. The middle seemed to dwindle, however, drawing out the emotional conflicts more than necessary and eventually getting frustrating. But after pushing through a bit, the conclusion was incredibly satisfying and all the loose ends were tied off wonderfully.

This was for sure an epic read, worthy of being made into a movie! I couldn't put the book down. Without giving too much away I would like say that the two main characters were a little out of the ordinary, which made the story so much more intense. I adored them both and, after surviving all their difficulties and heartache, am so glad they found their happy ever after.

Very good read, very captivating. Cried deeply through out as well as laughed out loud on several occasions.

About the author

Lorraine Heath always dreamed of being a writer. After graduating from the University of Texas, she wrote training manuals, press releases, articles, and computer code, but something was always missing. When she read a romance novel, she not only became hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. She’s been writing about them ever since. Her novels have been recognized with numerous industry awards and have appeared on the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists.
