Rafe is drunk, furious, and determined to escape a forced betrothal. Helen is concussed, terrified, and fleeing forced nuptials. They collide outside the church. To their muddled minds, wedding each other seems like the perfect solutionuntil the next morning, when all hell breaks loose. Rafe isn't the magnanimous rescuer Helen thought he was. And her uncle will do anything to steal her considerable fortune, including kill her husband. Then her former fiancé shows up to wreak more havoc. Will Helen and Rafe survive their first week together? Can such a madcap marriage ever work, or will they, like others, marry in haste to repent at leisure?
