The Runaway Bride (The Wedding Series, #4)

"Are you sure, baby?"
The father of the bride-to-be notes the confusion on his daughter's face. Just before her walk down the aisle, Judi Monroe overhears a conversation that indicates marrying Sterling Carroll might be a big mistake. Escaping her socialite wedding in Lake Forest, Illinois, she heads west, covering her tracks as she goes. In an isolated corner of Wyoming, she swerves her car to avoid hitting a horse and rider, crashing into a tree. She's rescued by that lone rider – or Ranger, as she fleetingly recalls -- a rugged rancher named Thomas Vance. Needing time to puzzle out her predicament, Judi lands in the arms of a doubting Thomas, a man with a strong jaw, deep-green eyes and a commanding presence.

When Judi dodges his personal questions, Thomas dismisses his half-sister Becky's diagnosis of amnesia. Judi seizes on this foot in the Diamond V door, staying on as a caretaker for Thomas' beloved grandmother. Judi finds a family on the Diamond V, even as her "Helga" masquerade slowly unravels. But as she falls hard for her horse whisperer, she fears her secret will only cause him to bolt from her life. As for Thomas, he knows this impostor is lying, and it wouldn't be the first time an outsider betrayed his family. Yet he can't help but trust this sexy, independent, smart woman who has lassoed his heart.

"Full of warmth, understanding of human nature, and great characters. They are connected, following the lives of college friends, and by the time you are finished, you feel as if you are a part of their extended circle. A dash of sex here, but not to the point that it overshadows the well thought out storylines. Definitely a feel good experience." -- 5-star review
