All Jane truly wants is her freedom. But she’ll settle for a horse.

Lady Jane is a tomboy through and through. She’d far prefer a swift ride through open meadows to a stuffy ballroom any day. Which is precisely why her parents are reluctant to bring her home from school to their country estate. They don’t trust their uncivilized daughter around the polite society that comes to call.
Heaven forbid she makes a bad impression on the lord of the neighboring estate. Her parents seem to forget that she’d been the best of friends with the marquess when she was young. Of course, back then the Marquess of Northbridge was fun and kind and lively…a far cry from the insufferably arrogant gentleman he’s become.
But arrogant or not, when the handsome marquess makes Jane an offer of marriage, she’s hard-pressed to refuse. After all, in this marriage of convenience, she’d get her beloved stable full of horses—and her freedom too. But when he seals the deal with a kiss, and they begin to spend every waking moment of the day together as an engaged couple, Jane discovers that her friend is still in there. And soon she discovers a rather large flaw in this plan.

The marquess may be offering freedom, but what if what she wants…is his heart?
