On the eve of his wedding to a woman he doesn't know but already loathes, Aiden Delaware, Earl of Aubrey, stumbles across Serafina, a girl like a fairy princess, sleeping in the woods. Enchanted, Aiden reveals his darkest heart to her, only to discover that she's his intended bride. Can Serafina ever forget his terrible words, words that shatter her lifelong dream of happiness with her Dream Lover?
From Publishers Weekly
Original characters and sprightly dialogue get this Regency off to a good start which Kingsley (No Sweeter Heaven) doesn't follow through. Forced into an arranged marriage, innocent but feisty Serafina Segrave and the worldly, cynical Earl of Aubrey first meet by accident, neither aware of the other's identity. Their initial misunderstanding is complicated by an unresolved tragedy that also involves Serafina's eccentric aunt and the earl's weak-willed father and scheming sister. Unfortunately, the conflict between the hero and heroine suffers from contrived development that jeopardizes any tension (first she fears sex and he refuses to believe himself capable of love; then his jealousy is aroused by his cousin and hers is ignited by his former mistress). A memorable heroine, steamy lovemaking and delightful scenes involving white magic may be enough to satisfy many readers. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
