Along the Road to Ruin
Description
Somewhere along the road to Gretna Green, Lady Beatrice Johnson fell in love?but not with her betrothed!
Desperate to escape the life her guardian and brother Lord Shermer has planned for her, Bea accepts the proposal by Edwin Mills, who she's known for only a short time. Instead of taking her to Gretna Green as she'd been told, he takes her to the tiny town of Fenwick-on-Sea, where she's soon found by her brother's man, Charles Robinson.
Years ago, Charles realized the futility of any romantic feelings he had toward Bea and forced them aside. When Shermer sends him to find Bea he's more than happy to go. Knowing that Shermer has already arranged a marriage for her to another man, Charles isn't eager to return her to her brother.
Old feelings reawaken as Charles and Bea await the carriage Shermer is sending to bring them home. All the reasons Charles has for not confessing his love to Bea seem less important. Could she love him in return? And is he bold enough to do what's best for Bea?
