Ryder Sherbrooke is a fun-loving rake with a secret. When he travels to Jamaica to solve the mystery of the supernatural goings-on at the Sherbrooke sugar plantation, he finds another mystery as well--a sophisticated nineteen-year-old girl, Sophia Stanton-Greville, who wants to bed him. And not, he believes, because she is simply enthralled with his handsome self or his boundless charm.
Sophia has successfully controlled every man in her orbit until she meets Ryder Sherbrooke, a man she knows immediately is different from the others, a man she sees as one of hell's own sons. Ryder, confident as only a successful rake can be when it comes to knowing women, sets out to teach her who is in charge. It's said she already has three lovers. Is she indeed the outrageous tease she appears? A seductress? Or is she an innocent with an ugly and terrifying secret?
As to Ryder's secret, you will see. You will also meet Douglas and Alexandra Sherbrooke from "The Sherbrooke Bride"; Sinjun Sherbrooke; and the Virgin Bride.

As to Ryder's secret, you will see. You will also meet Doughlas and Alexandra Sherbrooke from the Sherbrooke Bride; Sinjun Sherbrooke; and the Virgin Bride. The Heiress Bride, the third novel in the Bride Trilogy, will feature Sinjun Sherbrook and Colin Kinross, an impoverished Scottish Earl, who does his best to sink the unsinkable Sinjun.
This was a great read! I very much enjoyed the Bride Trilogy and how the characters interacted in each of the books.

Catherine Coulter is always good, whether it's romance or FBI thrillers. This is book 2 of 3.
