From USA Today Bestselling author Kelly McClymer comes a tale of two stubborn hearts locked in a duel between honor and happily-ever-after.

A scandalous secret comes between a duke and his new duchess

The Duke of Kerstone had planned on offering for Miranda Fenster five years ago...until his mother revealed a scandalous secret that made him determined to remain childless.Then their paths crossed again, and he found himself offering to marry her after all in an effort to protect her reputation. He was looking forward to the joys of married life...until his mother reminded him of the family secret and the importance of not continuing the family line. Now he found himself living a tortured existence...denying his own desire to consummate his marriage and trying to explain his decision to his loving and eager new wife.Miranda is determined to get past her husband's defenses, although she doesn't know exactly what the problem is. She does know, however, that her mother-in-law is the key to the solution. Miranda, alway a strong believer in the happy-ever-after ending, must somehow convince the Dowager Duchess to tell the truth and free her son from the bitterness that controls him. But what if--in this case--the truth only makes the situation more hopeless?One of the most thrilling romances I have read recently, The Fairy Tale Bride will keep you turning the pages in eager anticipation. I am also eagerly anticipating the sequels that must surely be planned to relate the marriages of Miranda's many deserving siblings.

Heartwarming tale

Ms. McClymer offers us a wonderfully original tale laced with wonderful, deeply drawn characters and a romance that makes you hold your breathe. Her writing puts me in mind of Amanda Quick and Lynn Kurland. I think that I have found a new favorite author.

Once Upon a Page Turner

Miranda Fenster's ability to envision a happy ending in every situation is inspiring. The glimpses of Miranda's siblings leave the reader waiting for the next book in the series.
