The Scarlet Bride (Electronic book text)


Notorious bad boy Simon Harrington, third in line for his uncle's title, has finally conceded to settling down and finding a noble wife. Then he stumbles across a courtesan in peril on a dark London street, and his life takes an unexpected turn. Fearing for her safety, he brings the mysterious beauty to his cousin's School for Brides, where compromised women are taught how to be suitable wives. But he finds it impossible simply to walk away.

But when Laura's former lover turns out to have been murdered the very night of her escape, suspicion falls squarely on Laura. Now it is up to Simon to prove her innocence--even if it leads to his downfall...
