MAXWELL returns with an irresistible love story, set in
early nineteenth century England, and driven by a full
throttle plot—brimming with unexpected twists and
turns—that captivates and surprises to the very end.
Lord Lyon is proud, principled, and exceedingly
handsome—epitomizing everything a woman could want in
an eligible bachelor. He is also cursed. To break the
curse he needs to marry. His fervent hope is that by
marrying―and having a son―he can destroy the
curse's chains forever. Yet, there's a catch—if he
falls in love with his bride, he dies. What Lyon
needs is a loveless marriage.
Thea Martin is society's most brilliant matchmaker—and
a duke's errant daughter. As teenagers, Lyon and Thea were
inseparable, until he suddenly disappeared from her life
without a word. Now Lyon has returned and is in need of a
first rate matchmaker, and Thea is charged with the
unimaginable task of finding a bride for a man who cannot
love—for a man she could love so well.
Thea Martin has survived a loveless marriage, society's
judgmental opinions, and the challenge of raising two boys
on her own. Lord Lyon and his two siblings live cloistered
in a world of fear, the curse of the Scottish witch that
took the life of their father looming over their lives and
affecting their every move. Both Thea and Lyon are in need
of a fresh start—the kind that only new love can
bring. But love for Lyon means death. Will he risk it all
for a brief stint of happiness with the one he adores? Will
anyone ever be courageous enough to confront the evil witch
Fenella and put a stop to her curses once and for all?
In LYON'S
BRIDE, Cathy
Maxwell delivers another engaging love story, sure to
delight lovers of historical romance, or anyone who enjoys a
well told story—full of emotion, passion, and the risk
of true love.
