Hell in a Hand Basket

Thus reads the Banns of marriage between Lord Harold Brookes and Miss Sophia Babineaux. "If any of you know cause why these two should not be joined in Holy matrimony, ye are to declare it."Would anyone declare it?Please?THE BRIDE wants to declare it. The heat Sophia feels for another man has given her a bad case of cold feet! She’d never even been kissed, how was she to know the importance of sizzle? By the time she realizes her mistake it may be too late... THE GROOM never wanted to marry Sophia in the first place. His interests (ahem) lie elsewhere. Unfortunately, with a duke for a father, Lord Harold has no say in the matter at all.So it’s up to war hero and rake, Captain Devlin Brookes to set matters right. He’s just returned from war and ready to settle down, unfortunately the girl he wants is, well, ah… unavailable.But he has a plan. Once set in motion, one lie turns into a spiral of deceit and guilt. Was one shot at heaven worth a lifetime of hell?Because love endures but the heart has it’s limits.Or does it?
