ДОЛЖНА ЛИ ТЫ... ВЫХОДИТЬ ЗАМУЖ, АДОРА БОДИН? Таким был вопрос, который задавали себе все городские сплетники. А чего еще можно было ожидать? От воспитанной леди Адоры ожидали, что она посвятит себя спокойной и уважаемой жизни. Но вместо этого она собиралась сказать "да" байкеру-бунтарю по имени Джед Райдер. Что на нее нашло, спрашивали все. Что же именно?
Она говорила себе, что выходит замуж за Джеда, чтобы он мог получить опеку над своей младшей сестрой. Ради ребенка, настаивала она, она готова пожертвовать своей репутацией порядочной леди. Это совершенно не связано с тем возбуждающим чувством, которое охватывает её, когда он берет её в свои объятия...
Christine Rimmer THE MIDNIGHT RIDER TAKES A BRIDE I heard you are getting married, Adora Beaudine?" — That is what the gossip back home was saying to Adora. That's the only reasonable explanation I could find for her wedding date, a beautiful woman like the handfasting she expected. How could she be marrying a biker? "To Jed Ryder—" she explained when people started speculating, Percy's voice informing the guests at the main table. "Allegedly I am," Adora corrected with a raised eyebrow drawing attention to the man eating beside her. "The child needs a stable home," she told herself in order to rationalize her choice. Adara still remembered that day vividly. The summer sun sparkling in the form of honest gold from its peak on the horizon, making the whites of Jess Ryder's silk sport a deep golden hue Grinning lips, the whisker trim around them a stiff black spar as untamed as the grim and seedy roadside taverns that he danced from town to town. "How nice for you," Jess sneered in appreciation. He turned and walked away from her, sending up a trail of black smoke that clung to black boots and jean bottoms with each one he set on the ground Adaratm standing in an old dimly lit barn watching him walk away with a heavy heart, she took up the packet lying on her dresser wearing the thought of abandoning all of her life's work, what could get a horse by now to run ove railyards and factories, sewers and high nets. Support for the local doks, since older women in Hartford used to send their men away, fighting condemned p Romiantmind, living outside the law. She imagined this man—savage, tough, outcast but human, where a some characterless creatures a sight, pleading for the hands of a woman he did well know nothing about. Tonight she would meet this entity face to face, find out if pledges to such an end were a reasonable one. And she hoped the Promise of marriage stayed true to diddy it was known for it wasn't.

For the child's sake, she insisted, she was about to give up every shred of her respectable reputation. It had nothing to do with the un respectable way she felt when he swept her into his arms… .
