The Scandalous Adventures of the Sister of the Bride (Millworth Manor)
What happens in America, stays in America. At least that is what Delilah Hargate tells herself when she gives into her desire for an “adventure” in New York City and indulges in a one-night stand with Samuel Russell. After all, the two of them will never see each other again, and at least once in her eminently respectable life, Delilah wants to take a walk on the wild side of romance. In retrospect, however, Delilah should have known that she simply isn’t the kind of lady who can get away with that sort of fling. Four months later, Delilah is back in England, busily helping with the last-minute details of her sister Camille’s wedding to Grayson Elliott, when an old friend of the groom arrives for the ceremony. Who does this gentleman turn out to be? None other than Sam. With dialogue reminiscent of those classic screwball comedies of the 1930s and 1940s, Alexander’s latest wickedly funny historical romance is the perfect synthesis of love and laughter. --John Charles
