** Delightful....A romantic winner. --Kirkus
Four young women face a life of destitution--until a daring act changes
their fortune and turns them each into a beautiful bride. In The Winter
Bride*, a compromising situation leads to an unexpected wedding and
delicious temptation....***
Damaris Chance's unhappy past has turned her off the idea of marriage
forever. But her guardian, Lady Beatrice Davenham, convinces her to make
her coming out anyway--and have a season of carefree, uncomplicated
fun.
When Damaris finds herself trapped in a compromising situation with the
handsome rake Freddy Monkton-Coombes, she has no choice but to agree to
wed him--as long as it's in name only. Her new husband seems to accept
her terms, but Freddy has a plan of his own: to seduce his reluctant
winter bride.
Will Damaris's secrets destroy her chance at true happiness? Or can
Freddy help her cast off the shackles of the past, and yield to
delicious temptation?
