The Irish BrideIn order to restore the family fortune, Sir Nicholas Kirwan will have to marry an heiress -- not a likely find in 1816 Ireland. He soon meets wealthy Rietta Ferris, who is used to men flirting with her only to win the charms of her younger sister. Afraid of being hurt, she hides her own beauty behind a stubborn facade. To win her trust, Nick will have to prove he loves her for herself. |
