Forced to marry a man she doesn't love, Bridget runs from the altar and stows away in a neighbor's wagon, not realizing whose wagon it is. When her family finds her, she is given a choice between the man she ran away from or the neighbor, but her pa is determined that his only daughter will be wed that day. She needs a man to tame her and it's high time she settles down, he tells her. Will is not happy to find the runaway bride in his wagon, but when she chooses him as her unwanted husband, he agrees, on the condition that her family will not interfere when he chooses to discipline the redheaded brat. Can Will really tame this wild child? Will they find a way to make the forced marriage work, or will Bridget run away again? Publisher's Note: This western romance contains elements of power exchange.
