Key item features
Publishers Weekly,In a display of what poses as wit in this Regency novel, the first of a trilogy, Douglas Sherbrooke, Earl of Northcliffe, tells his wife Alexandra that she is ``as amusing as a boil on a backside.'' Unfortunately, he's right. Worse, bestselling romancer Coulter's ( Earth Song ) lame story is no more amusing. The tale begins when Douglas is dispatched to France on a secret mission for the British government just as he is to marry the beautiful Melissande Chambers. He sends his cousin Tony Parrish to act as his proxy during the ceremony, but the bride and substitute groom fall in love and elope. They return to carry on with the proxy wedding, making Melissande's younger sister Alexandra the bride. Douglas is predictably annoyed when he returns and arrogantly makes this very clear to his unwanted wife. He rebuffs Alexandra's attempts to earn his favor until she wises up and tries to run off; then he decides to keep her. To prevent things from getting too cozy Coulter resurrects the poorly developed spy subplot and has Alexandra kidnapped. Douglas and Tony take off in pursuit, evil is vanquished and everybody who is supposed to be happy ends up that way. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

About this item
Product details
The first book in New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter's beloved Bride series. Douglas Sherbrooke, Earl of Northcliffe, is a man besieged. He must have an heir, which means he must find himself a bride. Alexandra Chambers, youngest daughter of the Duke of Beresford, has loved Douglas Sherbrooke since she was fifteen. But it is her sister, the incomparable Melissande, he wishes to wed. And unfortunately for Douglas, he finds himself married to the wrong sister. Despite his attempts to annul the marriage, he eventually finds himself questioning his feelings for Alexandra--and realizing that he may have married the right woman after all.
