The Bride he Abandoned [eKönyv: epub, mobi]

He rescued her once-then left her behind. Now he must return before she is lost for good.
When Charlotte Treloar elopes in haste, she gambles everything on a future she scarcely understands-and loses.
Ruined, vulnerable, and far from home, she is rescued by Jasper Creighton, a dangerously charming gentleman who awakens dreams she has never dared name. But just as Charlotte begins to trust him, Jasper abandons her at a ladies' seminary without explanation, leaving her heart bruised and her future uncertain.
Three years later, Charlotte is poised to make a far more perilous marriage.
Forced toward the altar with the cruel and possessive Lord Collingwood, she knows exactly what awaits her: not safety, not tenderness, but a life of control and quiet misery. Yet escape seems impossible-until Jasper reappears.
Haunted by guilt and driven by a need for redemption, Jasper is determined to stop the wedding he should never have allowed to happen. But Charlotte is no longer the trusting girl he left behind, and old wounds cut deep. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, both must reckon with betrayal, pride, and the devastating cost of lost time.
For if Jasper cannot prove that his return is more than another selfish impulse, Charlotte may be bound forever to a man who sees her as property-and denied the only love fierce enough to set her free.
A passionate Regency romance of second chances, dangerous choices, and love redeemed at the edge of ruin.
