Prince Augustus of Jura needs an English bride to help protect his country against the threat of Austria. Augustus is somewhat unsure of the bride  that is chosen for him. The Lady Lydia is beautiful and displays impeccable protocol, but when she runs off with his cousin, he's left in a precarious position. It's up to Lydia's younger sister, Charity, to take her sister's place as the ROYAL BRIDE. 

Charity has often had childhood dreams of the dashing hero prince, but even she was old enough to realize the difference between fantasy and reality. At first, her marriage is based on friendship, but soon Charity discovers that she wants more than her husband's friendship, she wants his love. With the ensuing danger that arises against the Prince and the country of Jura, Charity is determined to stand by her husband.

This is a story of "the other" sister, the one forgotten, and the one who seeks her own education and subsequently whose knowledge helps mold her into  exactly the kind of Princess this Prince needs. Joan Wolf writes wonderful love stories mixed with intrigue, pageantry and passion and I never hesitate to read one of her books. ROYAL BRIDE is a Regency Romance that will not disappoint.
