THE BRIDE WHO GOT LUCKY is a splendid treat from start to finish. It is the second book in the CAVENSHAM HEIRESSES series. Woe is Lady Emma Cavensham. Her best friend Lena dies young and Emma takes it seriously to heart. She vows to bring Lena’s husband to justice, since Emma suspects he is to blame. Thus, Emma starts a campaign of sorts for all women needing financial help from ne’er-do-wells. So, Emma finds herself in trouble more times than her parents would like, over her misadventures. Her latest scheme lands her in deep trouble. She is rescued by a family friend, the Earl of Somerton, Lord Nicholas St. Mauer. Heaven help her, he is so devastatingly handsome! Emma doesn’t need rescuing now or does she?

Lord Nick is a confirmed bachelor after his cruel-hardhearted father disowned him as a lad, twisting a vengeful proverbial knife in him. Thus, he lives a life of solitude. Nick shuns society and romantic entanglements of any sort. When he is requested by Emma’s brother to look out for her welfare over the years, he becomes smitten with Emma.
