Like many a Regency miss, Lyssa Harrell longs for love, but knows her duty lies in marriage. Still, when her father promises her hand to a dissolute but well-connected lord, she does the unthinkable . . . she flees to Scotland. Not to Gretna Green, but to her family-and to the castle where her mother once had been so happy. In this romantic land she will discover her heart’s desire.

But she doesn’t count on Ian Campion. The ruggedly handsome man has his orders: fetch the runaway daughter home! Ian has a price on his head and a dire need for the reward Lyssa’s father offers. Tracking Lyssa down is easy enough, convincing her to return is difficult . . . and not seducing her is impossible.

Soon, Lyssa is on the adventure of a lifetime. She has to sleep in the great outdoors, and flee from mysterious attempts on her life. She knows she’s ruined in the eyes of society, but she is willing to face true ruin-and risk everything for the unimaginable passion she finds in Ian’s strong arms, and when they return to civilization, the two must confront the most perilous adventure of all . . . admitting their unanticipated love.

As the title of Maxwell’s newest Regency-era romance accurately proclaims, this spirited and tender yarn is a joyride that careens from adventure to adventure. When the wealthiest man in London asks bare-knuckle fighter Ian Campion to retrieve his “kidnapped” daughter, Ian devotes himself to the task. …. retrieving a runaway heiress seems like an easy way to earn some much needed cash… As disasters pile up in their wake, Lyssa keeps Ian off balance with her endearing combination of reckless bravery and optimism. Meanwhile, plainspoken Ian, who’s so unlike pampered society men, earns Lyssa’s respect and affection. Maxwell strikes a perfect balance between screwball action and introspection, letting Ian and Lyssa grow up even as they grow on one another. Readers who have enjoyed the works of Julia Quinn and Victoria Alexander shouldn’t miss this winsome tale.
