Midnight Wedding

Holly Dent is in need of protection, but the solution Jack Armour proposes is not one she would have chosen. The two have only recently met, yet Jack argues that the safest way to shield her is to marry him.

Jack says he is acting out of pure gallantry and that the arrangement will be short-lived. The couple exchange vows at midnight, out of public view, and the night that follows is charged with passion, which leaves the situation far more tangled than either of them planned. Whether Jack is being honest with himself is the question hanging over the story.
