A Scarlet Bride

A Scarlet Woman and a Handsome Rake

Alexandra Thurston wants revenge. Revenge on the husband who accused her of infidelity and divorced her, tainting her as a scarlet woman. She vows to reclaim her good name and never marry again. But her father wants grandchildren, heirs to his banking fortune and is determined to find her a husband.  He has no luck until she finds herself caught in a compromising position with the handsome plantation owner, Connor Manning.  

Connor Manning loves only one thing, his southern plantation and he's desperate to save River Bend from the tax man. Desperate enough to agree to marry Alexandra for cold hard cash never dreaming that this spirited woman would ensnare his heart, leaving him yearning for a marriage more than in name only--knowing their marriage is based on a terrible betrayal.
