After He Rejected Me 99 Times, I Chose the Lion Heir

After He Rejected Me 99 Times, I Chose the Lion Heir — A woman ends a fifteen-year pursuit when her intended mate skips their ceremony, then bonds with a powerful lion heir instead.

Sloane spent fifteen years and ninety-nine proposals convincing Grant, the ward her family raised, to accept a bonding ceremony. On the appointed day he leaves her waiting in ceremonial dress from dawn until sunset to tend a steward's daughter's injured puppy. That dismissal ends her patience. She makes a single appeal to Rowan, a formidable lion heir who previously sought her. He reaches Bond Hall before it closes and becomes her mate. Later Grant insists no other man could want her, until Rowan enters Hartwell Manor and declares himself her chosen partner.
