‘Sara! You must turn out! You’re wanted downstairs immediately,’ Lucie hissed through the keyhole around the locked bedroom door. ‘Stepmama is normally furious and Father has sent word that he’s coming home early from the Exchange. She says he’s inside a trend over what you’ve performed!’ ‘I haven’t performed anything! It isn’t my fault if those two hotheads opt to fight a duel!’ came her sister’s indignant voice from the additional side of the door. ‘Oh, Sara, please!’ Lucie pleaded. ‘Father will be here any minute. You must do as you’re told!’ She shook her head and sighed ruefully, ‘You’re persistent, Sara.’ ‘Zero,’ rejected Sara. ‘I am strong.’ Thus begins the bittersweet story of beautiful Sara Leighton, the headstrong heroine of Folly’s Bride, the 4th in the Brides of Montclair series. As with her predecessors, joy does not come painlessly to this newest bride-to-be of Montclair. Her uncommon beauty and her independent spirit places her on the collision course with romance, frustration, disappointment, and finally, true love.
