Kidnapping His Bride — Karen Erickson

Catch her if you can…

Rafael Renaldi is a modern man with an old-fashioned secret -- an arranged marriage. Though it was an informal agreement, made when they were children, Rafe has always been a little in love with the beautiful, passionate Catalina Campioni. And assumed that the single, searing kiss they shared years ago sealed the deal.

Marriage? Babies? Not now -- not yet. After growing up witnessing her mother's devastation over her father's cheating, Cat has no intention of settling down anytime soon. She plans to live life to the fullest before marching down the aisle -- and it definitely won't be with womanizing, lethally charming Rafe.

When Rafe realizes his bride-to-be wants nothing to do with him, he does what a crazed man might do -- he kidnaps her. But not to force her to the altar. She wants adventure? He'll show her adventure, and show her life with him will never be dull.

But even as they fall in love, someone close is desperate to keep them apart and will do whatever it takes to ensure they won't marry. Anyone. Ever…

Warning: Put a sexy, charming Italian hero together with a fiery, beautiful Italian heroine and you have a combustible romance on your hands. Nothing like a good old-fashioned kidnapping and arranged marriage to help a couple fall in love.
