Lyon's Bride — Cathy Maxwell

"When a Chattan male falls in love, strike his heart with fire from above..."

They call him Lord Lyon, proud, determined -- and cursed. He is in need of a bride, but if he falls in love, he dies. His fervent hope is that by marrying -- and having a son -- without love, perhaps he can break the curse's chains forever.

Enter beautiful Thea Martin -- a duke's headstrong, errant daughter and society's most brilliant matchmaker. Years ago, she and Lyon were inseparable, until he disappeared from her life without a word. Now she is charged with finding Lyon's bride -- a woman he cannot love for a man Thea could love too well.
