The Debutante’s Escape - Paperback

Love, freedom, and a deal that changes everything.

Regina Beckett isn’t the kind of woman to swoon over a suitor or pine for a husband. She’s spent years dodging her parents’ relentless matchmaking, savoring her independence. But when an unwanted proposal threatens to trap her, she decides to take matters into her own hands — with a daring marriage proposal of her own.

John Kingston has always been Durango’s charming rogue, a man with no interest in settling down — especially not with anyone but the one woman who’s always had his heart. So when Regina, his closest friend and biggest temptation, offers a surprising proposition, he’s torn. Can he keep his feelings in check, or will this deal of convenience cost them both more than they bargained for?

As sparks fly and old emotions resurface, Regina and John must face a dangerous question: Can they risk their lifelong friendship for a chance at something more? With reputations on the line and hearts in the crossfire, it’s a gamble neither can afford to lose — but maybe, just maybe, it’s a risk worth taking.
