Some things are just beyond his control and he is at peace with that. Well, almost.Sitting in a damp warehouse in a dirty wedding dress and held for ransom was not how this was supposed to go. Cora Butler realized she shouldn’t get married but before she could inform her ex-fiance that he was the ex-fiance, two inept kidnappers complicate the situation. When a growly but gorgeous shifter comes to her rescue she thinks all is well. That was before Van tells her she was meant to be his. Being mate to a Kindred definitely was not in the plans.The path of fated mates never runs smoothly, and even though Van and Cora are meant to be together, there are forces at work trying desperately to keep them apart. Van will stop at nothing to make sure that his mate is safe. No matter the cost. Runaway Bride is a thrilling standalone romance set in the world of the Kindred with no cliffhanger and a guaranteed happily ever after.
