But when Jack begins a breathtaking seduction, Sophie can barely resist.   Jack never imagined that the daughter of his family’s mortal enemy would awaken such fierce passion within him—until one unforgettable kiss changes his mind forever. Soon, Jack is hell-bent on winning Sophie’s hand, going so far as to abduct her to save her from marrying a rival nobleman. Determined to woo Sophie and her unyielding parents, Jack is faced with the one decision he’d sworn never to make.

After all, Kate’s idea that the Wilde cousins are destined to find their true loves based on history’s legendary love stories seemed wildly impractical if not outright ridiculous. Especially since Kate insists Jack and Sophie’s romantic relationship is patterned after Romeo and Juliet. While it is true that the Wildes and the Fortins have been locked in a bitter feud lasting nearly three generations, Jack is positive he doesn’t want the same romantic ending for himself that Shakespeare penned for his play. But one glimpse of Sophie at the ball and Jack is hopelessly in love, which means he must now find a way to write a happy-ever-after ending for Sophie and himself.

Despite his better judgment and his instincts for self-preservation, he’d walked headlong into the matchmaking trap laid by his female relatives. He’d planned to inspect the young lady in question and then leave without a backward glance, but Sophie Fortin had thoroughly captured his interest. Jack let out a slow breath as he watched the captivating Miss Fortin execute the lively movements of a contra dance. There was considerably more lurking under her surface than mere beauty. She had an enchanting smile, an intensely feminine grace, and a delectable body that set all his primal male urges on full alert. He wanted her, without question. Even worse, he was seized by a need to know much more about her. Schooling his lustful thoughts, Jack pondered his options while recalling his cousin Skye’s ardent prediction: “Miss Fortin is not the grasping husband-hunter you seem to think her, Jack.
