Eloping with Emily — Liz Fielding

A funny thing happened on the way to the wedding...

Emerald Carlisle knows her father would go to any lengths to stop a wedding between her and her penniless friend Kit Fairfax. Announcing their engagement seems a surefire way of helping Kit raise some cash!

As her father's lawyer, Tom Brodie knows his duty is to buy off the groom and bring the daughter to heel. Unfortunately Emerald is as beautiful as she is charming. She's even managed to get Tom to help her "elope" on the grounds that the easiest way to follow a runaway heiress is to take her where she wants to go! But after spending time with Emmy, Tom soon realizes she could persuade him to take her anywhere...even up the aisle!

Hero: Kit Fairfax
Heroine: Emerald "Emmy" Carlisle
