Always
Guinivere McClous has always run from the things she couldn't face; her mother's death; her father's drinking; her "suitable" society beau. Then her father offers her as the prize in a scheme to save their beleaguered plantation. When the wrong man wins her hand, Guinivere must run again....

Rafe Latour has always had to make his own way in life, and it has made him as hard as steel. When Guinivere refuses to honor her promise, he kidnaps her and spirits her off to the hidden depths of the bayou ... where a man and a woman with everything to lose will discover that the one thing they can never run from is the passionate yearning of their hearts.
