Inhaltsangabe

He was sent to collect a bride. He found a woman who refused to be collected.
For a decade, Thomas, Marquess of Worthington, has perfected the art of rebellion. Governed by a father whose cruelty wears the mask of expectation, he has answered with a reputation for vice, charm, and a studied indifference to consequence.

Then the duke delivers his final provocation: a betrothal arranged sixteen years ago, to a girl Thomas has never met. Left with no choice, he travels to the sun-drenched coast of France to fetch his future bride.

What he finds is Cassandra.

Half-English, wholly French, and not the least inclined to be fetched anywhere. For more than a year she has been mistress of her grandfather's villa, beholden to no one—and she will not be managed by a guardian duke, nor by the arrogant marquess who arrives expecting her obedience.

Neither of them chose this arrangement. Neither will be the first to yield. But between defiance and desire runs a thin and perilous line—and some betrothals, however unwanted, refuse to be broken.

Born For This is the third novel in the Born For series—sweeping Regency romance brimming with wit, willfulness, and hard-won love. For readers who love historical romance with period authenticity.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

A Texas girl who fell in love with Cinderella long before she ever knew what the Regency era was, and never quite recovered.S. K. Snyder lives north of the Dallas metroplex with her husband Jack, a stable of Arabian horses, and a collection of rescue cats. But ask her where her heart truly lives, and she will tell you without hesitation: early 1800s England, in the drawing rooms and gardens and shadowed corridors where her characters breathe.Her path to writing was anything but direct. The career she remains most proud of was helping families rebuild after weather-related disasters, work that took her across the United States and taught her that resilience and love look the same in every zip code. That understanding lives in every heroine she writes.Her literary loves run deep. Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer shaped how she sees the Regency world; Thackeray and Fielding gave her the Georgian one. Among contemporary authors, she returns most often to Mary Balogh, Judith McNaught, Emma V. Leech, Barbara Metzger, Alice Chetwynd Ley, and Madeline Hunter. She researches obsessively, keeping one foot in the present so that the emotions her heroines feel remain timeless.She writes sensual, emotional Regency romance for mature women who want escape, validation, and a heroine who grows into her own skin. She opens the door but does not linger past it. She writes the hard situations women and men found themselves in when only perfection was acceptable, and she writes of feelings, not physical descriptions.Every romantic heart deserves its Prince Charming. In her books, he tends to be a rakish nobleman with a wounded soul and a redeemable heart.
