Kiss Me, Kate

Catherine St. Clair reluctantly submits to a temporary marriage in name only with a hired gun named Hugh Adams so that she can qualify for her inheritance. But she’s determined to do it on her own terms. As a doctor in a world hostile to women’s emancipation, she knows the meaning of struggle.

Yet her new husband is getting entirely the wrong idea about who’s in charge. How was she to know that the mysterious abduction attempts that had plagued her in the city would follow her and Hugh across the countryside? And why does Hugh get the idea she’s led such a sheltered life that she can’t take care of herself?

Sure, there are trains to jump off, wildfires to put out, bullets to dodge, kidnappers to foil, knife-wielding old ladies to placate, and the occasional pelted egg. But nothing Kate can’t handle!

Hugh has never met such an annoying female, and she’s never met such a stubborn man. Yet somewhere in their rollicking adventures, their passions start to flare as well as their tempers.

A grand romance set in nineteenth-century America, Kiss Me, Kate will steal your heart.
