MacGregor's Bride

By Barbara Dan

One foggy September morning Captain Bruce MacGregor sails boldly past the British warships blocking New London harbor, never suspecting that his life is about to change dramatically... Busily pursuing housewifely chores, Lydia Masters is startled by a knock at her door. News of her husband's death at sea is bad enough, but nothing compares to the scandalously hot attraction she feels right off for the tall, handsome sea captain standing on her doorstep Hoping a few sharp words will send him on his way, she picks a quarrel with the man. Ah, but Bruce has not survived twenty skirmishes against the British navy, only to get chased off by such a beautiful, hot-blooded young shrew. Instead he sets out to charm the lady, even suggesting a delightful New England custom, the "smock wedding," as the proper way to keep her late husband's considerable debts from being passed on to... a fine, upstanding citizen like himself Swept away by his roguish smiles, Lydia soon finds herself naked as the day she was born, peeking over a modesty screen and repeating wedding vows to this black-haired rogue-in front of half of the town folk, too Then, after one night of wedded bliss, this romantic patriot bids his bride adieu and sails away to defend American waters-and gets captured by the British Impatient for his speedy return home, Lydia embarks on a perilous voyage to rescue Bruce and his crew. Shocked by his bride's reckless behavior, Bruce soon learns there are no limits to what this woman's love may inspire her to do

Customer Reviews

So satisfying!!!

I absolutely adored Macgregor in this novel. He is not the typical "Dark, forboding, mysterious" type of hunk that many novelists chose to portray their male love interests. He is gorgeous yes, but he is also happy, upbeat and absolutely loveable!!! This story is very satisfying from beginning to end. If you like a story with a great ending, you will really like this one!!!

Back Cover

ONE KISS AND SHE LOST HER SENSES The bride herself was hard pressed to recognize the woman who stood naked as the day she was born, reciting her wedding vows to a charming rogue of a sea captain who was her only chance to avoid charges of treason. Still, a prim, proper widow has her limits, even during wartime, and the day the towering black-haired Captain Bruce MacGregor tested the uncharted waters of passion churning below the surface of her well-ordered existence, Lydia Masters was lost. ONE NIGHT AND HE LOST HIS HEART He must have been at sea too long to agree to marry a woman just to save her pretty hide, but temptation was his undoing. But this daring privateer hadn't survived twenty skirmishes against the British navy to beaten by a prickly, hot-headed female. But Heaven help him, he was not prepared for a wife like Lydia-or the perilous adventure that lay ahead when war rips them apart.and she dares the unthinkable to prove the defiant glory of a woman's love.

One of my all-time favorite romances.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! This is one great book. I'd read it twice and I never do that. I couldn't put it down. It's must have for all romance story lovers.
