The Wanton Bride

Description for THE WANTON BRIDE by Mary Brendan:

Mark Hunter managed to vex her at every opportunity--and seemed to enjoy doing so! However, to prevent a family scandal, Emily Beaumont must turn to him for help. Mark was more than happy to be of service to the delectable Miss Beaumont; with her quick wit and determined spirit she always made deliciously diverting company. But Mark soon discovered that Emily truly was in danger....

With disgrace just a breath away, Emily ached for Mark's strong arms to comfort her. Yet she held a secret--one that would surely prevent any gentleman from considering her as a suitable bride....
