Synopsis

To Snare a Bride . . .

To Gabriel Devine, Duke of Wolverest, the bonds of marriage are nothing more than shackles. But if he's to remain a lifelong bachelor, that leaves only his younger brother to carry on the family name. Inviting the ton's most eligible ladies to an elegant ball, Gabriel is certain any one of them would be all too eager to become the next duchess and provide an heir—leaving Gabriel to continue his ecstatic pursuit of pleasure.

To Catch a Rogue . . .

Her social-climbing stepmother would give anything to have Madelyn Haywood betrothed to a future duke. But Madelyn believes the brothers Devine to be nothing more than heartless rogues—especially Gabriel, whose rakish reputation precedes him. He is nothing more than a slave to passion, and she will not be conquered by his caresses­—and yet his wicked ways tempt her so . . .

Gabriel Devine, the Duke of Wolverest has decided that he's not going to ever marry. So he pressures his younger brother Tristan Devine to find a Bride. Only seven of the most beautiful young ladies are invited to Wolverest Castle so Tristan can chose which he wants for his bride. Madelyn Haywood doesn't want to be one of those seven young ladies, but she is trapped and an invitation is thrust into her hand. Madelyn doesn't want to get married, but her step-mother insists that she go and try, or the cottage Madelyn loves so much will be sold. To make matters worse Madelyn is a walking disaster. Upon reaching Wolverest Castle she falls into the local pond. I really enjoyed At The Bride Hunt Ball. I loved how Madelyn was a walking disaster and how Gabriel falls in love with her because she's not like other women.
