Not expecting to see one another ever again, Marcus and Quinn are caught in a situation that requires they marry. Neither one wants to wed a stranger, but society dictates they must to avoid a scandal. Thus the couple get hitched. As they become acquainted with one another they argue and fight until love enters the relationship.
Brenda Hiatt is highly regarded by Regency romance readers for her energizing tales starring warm characters. Her latest novel, THE REBELLIOUS BRIDE, is a fun sequel to ROGUE'S HONOR. Though the bickering between the lead protagonists is amusing it also slows down the action. Still, readers will find the independent fiery Quinn a charmer and Marcus a hero while simply enjoying the latest Saint tale and vowing they want more such stories.
