Although her adoring sister assured her that she needn't marry for title or money, painfully shy Hero Fenster longed for romance.

Customer Reviews

Scandalous behavior! -- Highly recommended

A mysterious note sends Arthurian scholar Arthur Watterley on a quest for Mallory's original manuscript of Le Morte D'Arthur. Leaving his preferred quite, country solitude, Arthur goes to London to follow the directions in the note. Few understand his scholarly passion except Hero Fenster, the secret love of his heart. Pledged since birth to a family friend, Arthur desperately tries to keep control of his heart. When he shares the content of the note with Hero, however, Aurthur allows her to convince him that she's going to accompany him to the bookshop for the mysterious meeting. Neither expects to be locked in the bookshop overnight!With a terrible scandal brewing, Arthur and Hero can only marry. Neither has admitted their feelings to the other, little suspecting to be in a mutual situation. As each tries to allow the other freedom to reconcile their new marriage vows, their emotions and actions result in quite a muddle. To further complicate things, Arthur must fulfill quests of honor, chivalry and valor to earn the leadership role of his club the Round Table Society, a club centered on Arthurian legend. If Arthur can find the Mallory's illusive manuscript, he's assured success. But his rival is equally determined to succeed, especially since Arthur has married the woman he planned to ask for.The Victorian age clashes with Arthurian legend in THE UNINTENDED BRIDE, resulting in a marvelous mix! With a generous dose of humor and mystique, author Kelly McClymer creates a terrific sequel to THE STAR-CROSSED BRIDE. Together Arthur and Hero defy convention to follow their hearts. These appealing characters and delightful original plot will leave fans hungering for the next part of this series: THE INFAMOUS BRIDE, available in October.
