She’s a deliciously scandalous woman who is no man’s bride…

He’s a black sheep, forced to return home.

Together, they enter a make-believe betrothal that shocks London society…

After twelve years in Her Majesty’s Navy, Griffith Davies must leave his sea-going life of outrageous freedom behind, forced to rejoin London society as the heir to the Duke of Northam. But though he is now shackled to the land, he has no desire to wed some innocently dull young thing. Who best to shield him from the matchmakers than a woman as notorious as he?

Lady Della Howlett’s reputation was tattered years ago, so entering into a false engagement with Griffith is hardly going to make matters worse. What’s one more shock to the ton to set their tongues wagging? And this pact certainly has its pleasures; the passion Griffith commands in her goes well beyond their agreement. Could her feelings be more honorable than she’d first imagined?

Soon, Griffith and Della are arousing more than scandal, they’re courting heartbreak. And more than their reputations could still be at risk.

“No one has to explain the concept of quid pro quo to Lady Della Howlett. In order to help her dear friend Sarah Wattings, Della needs Captain Griffith Davies’ assistance in tracing the whereabouts of one of his sailors, Henry Wattings, who disappeared after Griffith’s ship, HMS Royal Lady, capsized several years ago. As the new heir to the Duke of Northam, Griffith desperately needs someone to help him navigate the treacherous high-society shoals of London while at the same time keeping the elite’s marriage-minded mothers and their oh-so-eligible daughters at bay. …. Frampton’s scintillating wit, incredibly imaginative plotting, and think-outside-the-box protagonists come together with great panache in Never a Bride, making the latest in the Victorian-set Duke’s Daughters series. …..
