The Society Catch by Louise Allen

When love seems hopeless, running is the only answer – but can he catch her before disaster strikes?
Joanna has loved Giles Gregory secretly for years. Now, at last, she has grown up to be the perfect Society Catch. Joanna is ready for Giles to claim her – only Giles’s interest appears to lie with another young lady altogether. Rather than face a loveless match arranged by her parents Joanna runs away, and it is to the gallant Colonel Gregory that her mother turns for help to find her.

Joanna will not give in, whatever danger she finds herself in – but neither will Giles. When he catches her can he persuade her to trust him?

This is a heavily revised version of the novel of the same name published by Harlequin Mills & Boon in 2004.
