The Escape - Daring Darlings of Durango
Love, loyalty, and a dash of rebellion. When hearts are on the line, rules are meant to be broken.
Regina Beckett has always played by her own rules. She’s no shrinking violet, and she’s definitely not hunting for a husband. For years, she’s sidestepped her parents’ matchmaking schemes, but now, an unwanted proposal threatens to trap her. Desperate to keep her independence, Regina hatches a bold plan — she’s making her own proposal.
John Kingston has a reputation as Durango’s most charming bachelor. He’s sworn off settling down, especially if it’s not with the one woman who’s always been out of reach. But when Regina — the woman he’s secretly dreamed about — unexpectedly pops the question, he’s torn. Can he play along without losing his heart? Doubtful. But one thing’s for sure — he’ll do whatever it takes to convince her to stay.
As their plan unfolds, Regina finds herself drawn to John in ways she never imagined. But can she risk their lifelong friendship — and her own heart — for something that might not last? Her head says no, but her heart has other ideas.
