Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens has created some of romance's most unforgettable novels. Now she has created her most provocative love story-and amazing hero-to date. This is the book that dares to ask the question: Who is this man's ideal bride Michael Anstruther-Wetherby is a rising member of Parliament-a man destined for power. Aristocratic, elegant, and effortlessly charming, he is just arrogant enough to capture the interest of the ladies of the ton. And with his connections to the wealthy and influential Cynster family-his sister is married to Devil Cynster, the Duke of St. Ives-his future appears assured. Except that Michael lacks the single most important element of success: a wife. Political pressure sends him searching for his ideal bride, a gently bred, malleable young lady, preferably one with a political background. Michael discovers such a paragon but finds a formidable obstacle in his path-the young lady's beautiful, strong-minded aunt-Caroline Sutcliffe. One of London's foremost diplomatic hostesses, Caro has style and status but, having lived through an unhappy political marriage, wants nothing of the sort for her niece, who has already lost her heart to another. So Caro and the younger woman hatch a plot-Caro will demonstrate why an inexperienced young lady is not the bride for Michael. She succeeds in convincing him that what he really needs is a lady of experience by his side. And the perfect candidate is right under his nose-Caro herself. Then it is Michael's turn to be persuasive, a task that requires every ounce of his seductive charm as he tempts and tantalizes Caro, seeking to convince her that becoming his bride will bring her all her heart desires . . . and more. But then a series of mysterious, and dangerous, accidents befall Caro-an assailant has stepped in with their own idea for Caro's future-one that could involve murder. Before Caro can become Michael's ideal bride, they must race to uncover the unknown's identity before all hope of what they long for, and wish for, is destroyed., Millions of fans worldwide have thrilled to the romantic adventures of the dashing Cynster men and the captivating women who have stirred their passions and won their hearts. In this exciting addition to the bestselling series, Stephanie Laurens brings back the characters introduced in Devil's Bride, the novel that began the Cynster dynasty. "Devil" Cynster's brother-in-law, Michael Anstruther-Wetherby--Honoria Cynster's brother--is now a respected Member of Parliament. But one thing has always been true--a good politician needs an ideal wife. But what Michael envisions as a marriage of necessity soon becomes so much more than he--and his new bride--ever dreamed . . ., New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens has created some of romance's most unforgettable novels. Now she has created her most provocative love story--and amazing hero--to date. This is the book that dares to ask the question: Who is this man's ideal bride?

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

  • Good story, but not one of her better ones

    While I liked the basic story and the characters, I felt too much time was spent with diplomatic/political narrative; too many words that didn't really say anything or give anything pertinent to the story. Ms. Laurens could have edited about 50 pages off by cutting out these lumbering, non-essential details. I was surprised when the villain was identified. Quite different from what the reader was led to believe. But I thought the way Ferdinand was dealt with at the end was terribly weak, rather like a loose end the author almost forgot to wrap up. The story had lots of well-written sizzle between the Hero and Heroine. But I didn't have a sense of really knowing the main character and their backgrounds. Ms. Laurens touched briefly on Michael's younger years, but said nothing about ...

    I really enjoyed this book. It had a little of everything, mystery,drama, & lots of romance. Stephanie Laurens is a great romance novelist. I would also highly recommend another one of her books, The Perfect Lover.
