Perfect for you if...

You enjoy historical romance with high stakes and real danger, not just meet-cute sweetness.
You love a runaway bride story with genuine consequences and a hero who has to actually work to win her back.
You appreciate Gilded Age settings with period detail that doesn't feel like a textbook.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a slow-burn romance. Sophia and Carver's feelings develop quickly, and the plot moves at a sprint.
You prefer standalone novels. This is book one of a series, so some threads carry forward.
You're uncomfortable with dark elements. The stepfather's obsession and coercive behaviour add genuine tension that some readers find uneasy.

About this book

Sophia Fairfield, a Charleston socialite, is forced into an engagement with a widower twice her age. While her fiancé is away on business, he assigns his handsome stepson, Carver, to look after her. Sophia finds herself falling in love with Carver instead—a situation that would cause scandal since she is meant to become his stepmother. To protect Carver from ruin, Sophia flees to become a Harvey Girl waitress at the Castañeda Hotel in New Mexico. Carver has lived his life according to his overbearing stepfather's plans, but meeting Sophia offers him a glimpse of a different future. When she disappears, he abandons everything to find her. Meanwhile, his stepfather pursues Sophia with determination, intent on making her his bride by any means necessary.
