He didn't ask me to be his bride. He just carried me off. When he invited me to join him for a drink, I thought Alessandro was an ordinary guest at my family's hotel. I didn't know I belonged to him until he told me right there in the restaurant. I thought I had a say in the matter, but when I stood up to leave it just earned me a sore bottom for the plane ride to New York, where our wedding was already planned for the next day. But I was soaking wet for him before he even walked me down the aisle... Publisher's Note: His to Wed is a stand-alone romance which is the first book of the Reluctant Vows series.
