Bride for a Night

October 1, 2011
Money is no object for Silas Dobson. So when the wealthy businessman is presented with the opportunity to purchase a suitably connected husband for his daughter Olivia, Silas doesn't hesitate to strike an advantageous deal. The only problem is that instead of showing up at the altar as promised, Olivia's future husband, Harry Richardson, the younger brother to the Earl of Ashcombe, decides to take the money and run. If Olivia thought she was the laughingstock of society before, it is even worse now, especially once Gabriel, the infuriatingly arrogant and impossibly sexy Earl of Ashcombe, announces he will be marrying her in place of Harry. Romance legend Rogers, who was one of the original Avon Ladies, remains true to her literary roots in her latest novel by matching up a spirited, unconventionally beautiful heroine with an bersexy hero with testosterone to spare. Bride for a Night is a vividly written and boldly passionate tale of love and danger, expertly tailored for fans of classic historical romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
