The Runaway Wife

One reckless night. One secret marriage. One runaway wife.

Arden Chase came to Briarhaven for a quiet summer with her glamorous cousin, Caroline "Coco" Chamberlain. She expected old money manners, pretty dresses, and maybe a little gossip.

She did not expect Noah Barclay.

Charming, dangerous, and heir to Barclay Aviation, Noah has a reputation every woman in Briarhaven knows by heart. He is the kind of man Arden should avoid, especially when Coco warns her that Noah has a habit of making women believe they are the exception.

But Noah looks at Arden like he sees something no one else ever has.

One impossible night turns into a secret elopement. By morning, Arden is Mrs. Noah Barclay. By midnight, she is gone.

Because Arden hears enough to believe the truth is worse than heartbreak. Noah did not choose her. Not really. She was a mistake, a substitute, maybe even a weapon in an old game between Noah and Coco.

Six months later, Arden has built a quiet life far from Briarhaven, far from the husband who broke her heart before anyone even knew he had it.

Then Noah finds her.

And this time, the man everyone said would never stay is determined to prove that his runaway wife was never second choice.

The Runaway Wife is a steamy, emotional contemporary romance set in the scandal soaked world of The Briarhaven Scandals, where old money, gossip, secrets, and heartbreak collide.
