Awol Bride

Awol Bride
Victoria Pade

This is one bride that doesn’t want to be found!After a car accident leaves runaway bride Maicy Clark unconscious, she's rescued by the last man on earth she ever wanted to see again: Conor Madison, her school sweetheart. He rejected her eighteen years ago, but when she's stranded in a log cabin with him, in the middle of a raging blizzard, Maicy can’t help remembering just how good they were together.

Running into the Past

After Maicy Clark’s high school sweetheart breaks her fragile heart, she vows to cut him out of her life forever. But when Maicy dashes out of her own wedding decades later, she runs pell-mell back into Conor Madison’s healing arms...and his life!

Navy doctor Conor’s shocked to discover that his mysterious new patient is his never-forgotten childhood love. Now sweet Maicy’s all grown up—and a woman to be reckoned with. With a blizzard looming, a snowed-in Conor’s about to get up close and personal with the girl he’d never stopped wondering about. But are the scars of the past too deep to mend...or is it time for Conor and Maicy to finally come home?

“Can you raise your legs? One at a time?”

She did that, feeling satin around them. The wedding dress. From the wedding that hadn’t been. Because she’d run away from it...

“Okay, very carefully, I want you to try to move your head—can you do that?”

She could do that, too.

“Any pain with that? Any tingling in your shoulders, arms or legs?”

“No.”

“Nothing? No pain—shooting or otherwise?” the man asked.

“No,” she said softly as she went on assessing his face and finding more and more to it that made him seem like the boy she’d known. And loved.

And learned to wish she hadn’t...

Those full lips.

Those eyebrows that were a little thick and as dark a brown as his hair.

Then her neck was free and he raised his eyes to her face.

And that was when she knew for sure.

No one except the Madison brothers and their sister, Kinsey, had eyes like that. Cobalt blue that was bluer than blue.

“Oh, my God!” she said in alarm.

“What? Pain? Numbness?” he asked with more urgency.

“You’re Conor Madison,” she accused scornfully.

He relaxed and nodded. “Hi, Maicy,” he said calmly.

“I get it—I’ve died and gone to hell,” she muttered.
