He'd wanted a mild flirtation... Instead, he got a marriage of convenience.

They're running from the one thing they should be running to...

Unapologetic rogue Devin Everingham led a charmed life. Sadly, those days are behind him. Now that his meddling mother has demanded he marry, he has but one option. Escape. Visiting the overseas business ventures he inherited from his father will give him exactly what he needs. Until an extraordinary woman stumbles into his life and makes him question every choice he's ever made...

Trinity Ablethorne accepted her spinster status long ago. Traveling the world at her employer's expense is more thrilling than romance could ever be. Unfortunately, getting stranded in a plague-ravaged foreign country changed all that. Now, only a marriage of convenience to the devastatingly handsome Devin can save her. But accepting his offer doesn't mean she'll allow him anywhere near her heart...

Devin and Trinity soon learn just how quickly a simple business arrangement can fall apart when actual feelings begin to grow. The only question remaining now is if they can stop running away from love and allow themselves to build a happily ever after together...
