Richard Berkeley's Bride
Alexandra Campbell is wealthy, beautiful, and accomplished. The world values such gifts. But her father, Lord Edward Campbell, had always wanted a son to inherit the empire he'd built in the New World. A daughter was of no value. So he groomed his best friend's son to fulfill the role. Best of all, the young man's father was his best friend. But how best could he ensure that Richard Berkeley became the son of his dreams? Of course! A marriage between him and his daughter Alexandra.
Alexandra had chosen the man she wished to marry . . . and love didn't enter into the picture. Nor did she want it. Love led to loss. She had learned that lesson early in life. Over and over again Love had convinced her that pain and loss was the consequence of loving anybody at all. No to love. No to any further losses. She would simply marry the earl and lead her life in the glittering Court of St. James.
But her plans went awry. Her grandfather informed her that she would return to Charlestowne . . . posthaste. She was to marry to the son of her father's friend. An utter stranger. How would any girl feel to be given such news?
Disaster?
Or an opportunity for a happily ever after?

San Francisco Review of Books--Review:
Can Alexandra spend a lifetime with a man she’s only known for two weeks?
Alexandra’s situation is definitely difficult. Not only is she abruptly called back to the colonies, but she learns she is to marry a man she knows nothing about. Even worse, she barely has any time to get to know him. Her trepidation at the thought of marrying a complete stranger is completely understandable, and I truly felt sorry for her. Fortunately, Richard is a kind and intelligent man. The chemistry between Richard and Alexandra is palpable from the moment they meet, but is chemistry enough to build a successful and happy marriage?
Richard and Alexandra make a great couple once they finally take the time to get to know each other. Their happy ending is certainly well deserved. Fans of historical romance might want to give this tale a try.
