The first book in New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter's beloved Bride series.
Douglas Sherbrooke, Earl of Northcliffe, is a man besieged. He must have an heir, which means he must find himself a bride.
Alexandra Chambers, youngest daughter of the Duke of Beresford, has loved Douglas Sherbrooke since she was fifteen. But it is her sister, the incomparable Melissande, he wishes to wed. And unfortunately for Douglas, he finds himself married to the wrong sister.
Despite his attempts to annul the marriage, he eventually finds himself questioning his feelings for Alexandra—and realizing that he may have married the right woman after all.
