Book Description:
Desperate for an heir, Douglas Sherbrooke, Earl of Northcliffe, looks for a bride and finds a prospective one in Melissande Chambers, but it is Melissande's sister, Alexandra, who has loved Sherbrooke from afar since she was a girl.
Life never gives what one expects, and Douglas finds himself wed to the wrong sister. If having an unwanted wife isn't enough,he is also plagued by The Virgin Bride, a ghost that is reputedly seen in the countess' bedchamber.
Alexandra Chambers, youngest daughter of the Duke of Beresford, has loved Douglas Sherbrooke since she was fifteen. Unfortunately, it is her sister, the incomparable Melissande, he wishes to wed.
But life never ladles out what one expects, and Douglas finds himself wed to the wrong sister. If having an unwanted wife isn't enough, he is also plagued by The Virgin Bride, a ghost that is reputedly seen in the countess's bedchamber. Does the willowy phantom really appear to Douglas? Does she speak to him?
I hope you enjoy reading about the exploits of Alexandra and Douglas as much as I enjoyed writing them. You will see them again in THE HELLION BRIDE, novel two of the Bride Trilogy.

Douglas Sherbrooke, Earl of Northcliff, decides he is ready for a bride. He sends his cousin to marry him by proxy to a lady he knew in the past while he was an important mission for the government. When he comes back, he discovers that his cousin has married his intended bride instead and wed her sister by proxy to Douglas instead. Now it's up to Alexandra to convince him to keep her around.
