In a sparkling new series filled with irresistible charm and sizzling romance, award-winning author Isabella Bradford introduces us to the eldest of three Wylder sisters—unruly country girls whose passion for life leaves their London suitors breathless.
Raised in the Dorset countryside, Lady Charlotte Wylder doesn’t care one bit about well-bred decorum. The dark-haired, blue-eyed beauty would rather ride a horse than attend a stuffy ball. So when Charlotte learns that she is to leave immediately for London to wed the Duke of Marchbourne, a perfect model of aristocratic propriety, she is less than enchanted with her arranged marriage.
But to her delight, their first encounters are brazenly flirtatious, and their wedding night burns with passion. March’s broad shoulders and dark countenance make Charlotte want to rip every button off his waistcoast. She may even be falling in love with her new husband. Yet whenever their desire boils over, March reluctantly pushes Charlotte away. Will past secrets and present misunderstandings mire their marriage in scandal, or serve to strengthen a bond that is destined to last a lifetime?
When You Wish Upon A Duke is book one in the Wylder Sisters series by Isabella Bradford. I think I have stumbled across a treasure. This was my first time reading a Bradford book, and I absolutely adored it. I had a hard time putting it down. This story is so different and unique. I loved the heroine Lady Charlotte Wylder and the hero James Augustus FitzCharles, Duke of Marchbourne or March for short. Bradford does a great job of recreating 1760 England in speech, dress, and activities of the time. There are several hilarious moments and some tearful ones as well. There are several steamy sex scenes that are masterfully written. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I checked these books out from the library.
