He would do anything to protect her. Even marry her…
The son of a cold-hearted duke, Nicholas St. Mauer isn’t one to involve himself in society…or open his own heart to anyone. But driven by honor, the reclusive Earl of Somerton feels obliged to keep a watchful eye on Lady Emma Cavensham. She possesses a penchant for passions unbecoming a woman that finds Nick in constant peril of losing his well-structured solitude. She even dared kiss Nick once―an utterly unladylike, and delightful, lapse…

Emma can’t deny the appeal of the earl’s attention, and occasional affection, but she has no need for a man. There are worse fates than spinsterhood, as Emma knows too well. She still mourns the loss of her dear friend Lena, and is determined to prove Lena’s husband responsible for her death before he lures another innocent woman into a brutal marriage. But as Emma pursues her prey, a compromising moment upends all her plans. Now, with gossip swirling and her reputation in tatters, Nick may be the only man brave enough to join in Emma’s cause. . .and fight for her heart.

Warning: This book was a bit heartbreaking and, if you are susceptible to triggers over abuse, this one will undoubtedly set it off. Read with caution... The Bride Who Got Lucky, Book 2 of The Cavensham Heiresses, was about Lady Emma Cavensham, daughter of the Duke of Langham, and Lord Nicholas "Nick" St. Mauer, the Earl of Somerton, the son and heir of His Grace Drake St. Mauer, the Duke of Renton. Side Note before I give a review: This author has several unfortunate habits when writing her novels. One of those habits would be in skipping time...as in, she will write, "A week later"; "a year later"; "several years later". I don't really care for such tactics as they tend to be either inaccurately calculated or just plain irritating. Another bad habit was her use of parenthesis...such frequent use of them that they tended to be a huge distraction from the story. This was hard to read. Not because it was a bad book, but the subject matter made it one that broke the heart...and not because of the relationship between the two main characters. Emma was born before her time, a woman who should have been born fifty years later. She was what would be called a Suffragette back in the late 1800s to the early 1930s, a lady determined to see women treated right, and as equals with men. Hers was a strong character and advocate for women's rights. She was bold, determined to be independent, as well as in her desire to aid women to escape the horrors of a violent marriage. Nick, having been cast off by his father from birth, and then told to his face that he meant nothing to the man at the age of 15, was determined to never be dependent on anyone and to never give his heart for fear of it being broken yet again. These two lonely people were drawn to each other from their first meeting, but it took several years for them to bow to that attraction. The storyline was brutal yet...eye-opening towards the plight of women through time. It was a good book, with all the angst, drama, humor, intrigue, and passion that goes hand-in-hand with such a novel. However, greater even than the passion in the book...was pain, defeat, and disappointment. The author was very thorough in portraying those emotions throughout the book, from beginning to end. There was no chance that whoever read the book would be saved from feeling what each character felt because of how real and volatile those emotions were. So great, they felt like a knife slicing the skin enough to allow the person to feel the pain but not actually die from the wound. The twists and turns were sometimes what one would expect, but at other times they reached up and doled out a sucker punch that left one gasping for the next breath. Such a powerful story. All I can say is, it definitely earned a five-star rating and a spot with the Keeper for the Shelves collection.
