The Heiress by Claire Delacroix is a fairy tale of sorts involving a bride quest.  The last of Gavin Fitzgerald’s sons set out on a search for a bride.  His two brothers have challenged him to marry the most wealthy woman in Ireland.  He set off to track down Bronwyn of Ballyroyal to woo her into being his wife.  He was interested in a wife who would provide a life of leisure for him.  He was waylaid in the port and ran into a woman who needed his assistance.  She carried herself regally even tho he saved her from being a slave.  She said her name was Iberna but he knew that to be a lie.  She forced him into securing a ship captained by what they would later learn was a madman.  During their trip to Ireland, they became closer and even lovers but she was not inclined to tell him who she really was.  This is a great story of survival, disguise, and enemies to lovers.

Risky but it works

I thought it a nice change of pace that the heroine wasn't a virginal maid but it was risky because she had been raped. I'm not sure the following seduction could really have been achieved but as this is fiction I was prepared to move past it. The rest of the book was excellent, lots of exciting happenings and suprises. I've read 18 of this authors books in 40 days and I can say this was among the best
