From New York Times best-selling author Thea Harrison comes a vintage contemporary romance, as originally published under the pen name Amanda Carpenter in 1991.

Kristie Philips will go to any lengths to protect her older sister Louise. So when Louise says her impending wedding is threatened by an ex-boyfriend, Kristie decides to kidnap the attractive businessman and hole up in a remote part of the Vermont wilderness until her sister is safely and happily married. What could go wrong?

Francis Grayson doesn't know how or why he was abducted, drugged, and spirited away to an isolated mountain, but he knows who's to blame. Kristie is as infuriating as she is intriguing. She may have thought she was helping her sister, but considering he didn't even know Louise was getting married, it's obvious Louise hasn't been completely honest with either of them.

Kristie and Francis need to get back to civilization to uncover the full story. But their time alone together has kindled a fire that won't be easily extinguished.
