“Maxwell mixes laughter with meticulous characterization to create memorable stories.”

-Publishers Weekly

With Lyon’s Bride, NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Cathy Maxwell kicks off a wonderful historical romance series, The Chattan Curse-concerning a generational bane that ominously portends, “When a Chattan man falls in love, strike his heart with open fire from above.” Within this sensational relationship of convenience story with a wonderful twist, the so-called “Lord Lyon” is the latest relative cursed to eschew like or die. Therefore he looks for a bride-to-be he will not like, only to be smitten by an English duke’s headstrong girl, who compels him to dangerously tempt destiny. Lyon’s Bride may be the sort of lush and sensuous love story which will appeal not only to RITA Honor nominee Cathy Maxwell’s legion of fans, but to the many devoted readers of Christina Dodd and Victoria Alexander aswell.
