The China Bride is for all of you who wanted the
story of Kyle Renbourne, twin brother of Dominic, hero of
The Wild Child. The story begins six years after
the end of The Wild Child. Kyle has spent those
years in travel, moving ever eastward. Soon it will be
time to return to England and his responsibilities as heir
to an earldom, but first he will visit China, the last and
most desired goal of his long journey.
Born to a Scottish father and a Chinese mother, Troth
Montgomery dreamed of someday traveling to Scotland, until
the death of her father condemned her to a shadowy life as
an interpreter in Canton. Then Kyle Renbourne, viscount
and adventurer, discovers Troth’s true identity and
persuades her to be his guide on a dangerous journey into
the heart of the Celestial Kingdom.
A meeting of minds flares into searing passion, an idyll
that ends when Kyle is captured and condemned to death. A
reckless prison cell marriage the night before his
execution sends Troth to England, where she arrives at the
estate of Kyle’s brother. Though accepted as bride and
widow, she is haunted by the memory of her dashing
husband. Then the past reaches out to Troth, bringing
passion, despair, and danger. Now she must draw on her
unique heritage to save all she holds dear—and become the
woman she is destined to be.
