Runaway Bride — Deborah Gordon

Wealthy and beautiful Melanie Wyatt has left a trail of heartbroken and abandoned fiancés throughout San Francisco -- for she can allow no man to share her secret life. A smuggler of priceless Oriental artifacts, the sensuous, strong-willed socialite uses her ill-gotten gains to buy freedom for enslaved Chinese children. But a master of disguise and seduction threatens to halt her charitable works with erotic persuasion.

A dashing and dangerous adversary, Alex McClure ruthlessly desires what only Melanie can give. Now the cunning, resourceful miss faces exposure -- and perhaps far worse. For Melanie Wyatt can run from her handsome, relentless pursuer -- but she can't hide from his passion...or the power of his love.
