The Bride Series 3-Book Bundle
by Jane FeatherIn this enchanting trilogy from "an accomplished storyteller" of "rare and wonderful" romance (Los Angeles Daily News), three unconventional women vow never to marry--only to be overtaken, one at a time, by the exquisite pleasures of unexpected love. Now all three of Jane Feather's novels are together in one delightful eBook bundle: THE HOSTAGE BRIDE It's bad enough that Portia Worth is taken in by her uncle, the Marquis of Granville, after her father dies. But it truly adds insult to injury when the outlaw Rufus Decatur, the Granvilles' archenemy, attempts to abduct the Marquis's daughter--only to kidnap his bastard niece by accident. Portia, a misfit with the audacity to believe herself the equal of any man, does not take kindly to being abducted--mistakenly or otherwise. Decatur is in for the challenge of his life--both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. THE ACCIDENTAL BRIDE With her untidy hair, rumpled clothes, and ink-stained fingers, Phoebe Carlton isn't the kind of woman men fall in love with. But after her older sister dies, she seems like a reasonable substitute to her sister's husband, Cato, the Marquis of Granville. Only when Phoebe looks at Granville--really looks at him--does she fall disastrously in love. A cold-blooded engagement will be torture, knowing this darkly, breathtakingly attractive man would never love her. So Phoebe decides to try something different--a little change in wardrobe, a daring new attitude . . . and a bit of brazen seduction. THE LEAST LIKELY BRIDE One moment Lady Olivia Granville is strolling along, her nose buried in Greek philosophy; the next she's plunging down a rocky cliff, only to regain consciousness on a pirate ship. Her captor, though, is no ordinary pirate. The wickedly handsome master of the Wind Dancer is a physician and an artist. And when he turns his glittering eyes on her, he sees not the bookish young girl Olivia has always been, but a passionate beauty ready to embark on the adventure--and the love--of a lifetime.
