Elopement for One

The hour comes, the crowd awaits, and the groom impatiently stands at the altar, but Troy chooses not to attend the wedding—and she's the bride! Leaving behind the elaborate wedding along with a glittering solitaire, Troy flees a future tainted by her fear of the man she promised to marry. Childhood friend Zach stands waiting to help her escape—but answers her thanks with a stern warning: “You leap into things, never think about the consequences, and then find you can't get out of the mess. But, little girl, I promise this is the last time I'll ride to your rescue.” Zach loves this beautiful girl, but he's been getting her out of trouble most of her life. He's had enough of her escapades. Troy suspects she feels more than friendship for her childhood hero. In turning to him this time, she could lose him forever.
