The Reluctant Groom — Paula Tanner Girard

CAN A RELUCTANT GROOM...
When William and Edward Hatcher learn their family manor has been left to a distant American cousin, Miss Calamatta McGannon, the brothers resolve to regain their rightful inheritance. Younger brother Edward-immediately dispatched to the wilds of Kentucky-is to marry the young lady as his brother's proxy and bring her home unsullied. So when a tall frontiers woman insists on kissing him-for practice-the warmth of Edward's response is tempered only when he learns she is Calamatta.

...AND A HEADSTRONG BRIDE
To Calamatta, a whirlwind courtship and marriage to the handsome Englishman who shared a passionate kiss with her was as romantic as the novels she loved to read. But when she learned she had actually become his brother's bride, she dutifully attempted to transfer her affections to her new husband. Once in England though, Calamatta discovered how difficult it was to love William. Edward was kinder, more attentive-all a blushing bride could wish for in her groom. Now, instead of furthering her matrimonial education with husband William, the headstrong Mrs. Hatcher was determined to continue practicing her kissing with Edward!

LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
