Dear Reader,
Here is the first of my new Brides Trilogy, in which three
unconventional young women vow they will never marry--only to be
overtaken by destiny. Bride #1 is the outspoken Portia...It's bad
enough that seventeen-year-old Portia Worth is taken in by her uncle,
the marquis of Granville, after her father dies. As the bastard niece,
Portia knows she can expect little beyond a roof over her head and a
place at the table. But it truly adds insult to injury when the
Granvilles' archenemy, the outlaw Rufus Decatur, hatches a scheme to
abduct the marquis's daughter--only to kidnap Portia by accident.
Portia, who possesses more than a streak of independence as well as a
talent for resistance, does not take kindly to being
abducted--mistakenly or otherwise.
Decatur will soon find himself facing the challenge of his life, both on
the battlefield and in the bedroom, as he contends with this misfit of a
girl who has the audacity to believe herself the equal of any man.
Warmest wishes,
Jane Feather
P.S. Phoebe, the "awkward" one, will be next, in The Accidental Bride.
