Your presence is requested at romantic Twill Castle for
the
wedding of Miss Clio Whitmore and . . . and . . . ?
After eight years of waiting for Piers Brandon, the
wandering Marquess of Granville, to set a wedding date,
Clio
Whitmore has had enough. She's inherited a castle, scraped
together some pride, and made plans to break her
engagement.
Not if Rafe Brandon can help it. A ruthless prizefighter
and
notorious rake, Rafe is determined that Clio will marry
his
brother—even if he has to plan the dratted wedding
himself.
So how does a hardened fighter cure a reluctant bride's
cold
feet?
He starts with flowers. Ladies can't have too many
flowers. Or harps. Or cakes.
He lets her know she'll make a beautiful, desirable
bride— and tries not to picture her as his.
He doesn't kiss her.
If he kisses her, he definitely doesn't kiss her
again.
When all else fails, he puts her in a stunning gown
and
vows not to be nearby when the gown comes off.
And no matter what—he doesn't fall in disastrous,
hopeless love with the one woman he can never call his
own.
