Shanna

Behind the ominous walls of Newgate Prison, a desperate pact is forged: to escape an abhorrent arranged marriage, the spirited heiress Shanna Fancourt weds the dashing, condemned criminal Ruark Beauchamp. In exchange for one night of passion, Ruark consents to the union, only to find himself abandoned at the gallows as Shanna flees to the sun-drenched paradise of a Caribbean island, believing herself free. But Ruark Beauchamp is not a man to be so easily thwarted. Defying fate and the hangman's noose, he escapes his impending doom, consumed by a fierce determination to claim the tempestuous bride who left him. What follows is an epic pursuit across treacherous seas to a lush tropical haven, where Shanna's free spirit clashes with Ruark's unyielding will and burning desire. Their marriage of convenience transforms into a thrilling saga of passion, defiance, and a love that refuses to be denied, challenging societal norms and the very definition of freedom.
