Celeste Bradley. Jove, $7.99 mass market (352p) ISBN 978-0-451-47598-5
In the hilarious and warmhearted fifth Wicked Worthingtons Regency (after I Thee Wed), Bliss Worthington thinks she’s about to execute a romantic, secret midnight wedding in the outskirts of London. But instead of marrying Neville, Duke of Camberton, Bliss finds herself wed to the duke’s illegitimate half brother, ship’s captain Morgan Pryce. Determined to acquire an annulment and marry her true intended, headstrong Bliss secures a promise from her accidental husband that he won’t enforce his husbandly rights. Morgan, who hopes to preserve his close relationship with his half brother and believes the impoverished Bliss is a gold digger predatorily pursuing a title, is determined to outwit her by making her seduce him. Fate has the last laugh as Bliss and Morgan reluctantly find that their temperaments match and there’s an undeniable, unavoidable attraction between them. This installment is packed with hilarious hijinks, excellent twists, and a sparkling tension between Bliss and Morgan. New and returning readers alike will eagerly anticipate the next of the Worthingtons’ matrimonial endeavors. Agent: Irene Goodman, Irene Goodman Literary. (May)
