Security expert Tanner Caldwell is in the right place at the right time when chaos erupts on the steps of the church. He’s been in love with Jordan Grazer most of his life, even though the debutante is marrying another. But when Jordan is threatened, Tanner whisks the bride away, taking her on the run for her life.

Renowned horse trainer Jordan feels safe with her sexy rescuer. In Tanner’s strong arms, she feels full of hope for the first time. There is no secret past, no uncertain future, only a present filled with hand-in-hand walks, sensuous kisses, and long night together.

Jordan knows she will have to go home when the mystery kidnapping attempt is cleared up. She is the only one who can save her family from financial disaster—but that means saying goodbye to Tanner and “I do” to another man.
