It is said that the maid of honor and the best man are the most likely to have sex on the wedding night. Add a love-hate relationship and throw in a couple of ghosts, and you have The Run-Away Couple.

Eloise chose a Gothic themed wedding for her and Dane, complete with remote setting, flickering candles, flaming torches and shadows, all geared towards scaring the guests. The stormy weather and swirling mists were a bonus.

But the person most scared was the maid of honor, who was the bride's sister, Piper. She didn't do creep. And she had been lumped together for the night of the wedding with Marcus, the best man and the bane of Piper's teenage life. He was a prankster of renown when they were growing up. She didn't trust him then and she didn't trust him now.

As the runaway couple, would they follow the traditional path? Or would Piper's dislike and distrust win out?

Set in South Africa, The Run-Away Couple is the first book in a set of romances about bridesmaids, weddings and honeymoons that will appeal to the young and the young at heart alike.
