The Reluctant Bride
by Barbara Bretton

Another exciting historical romance from USA Today bestselling author Barbara Bretton

Molly Hughes will do anything to save the Pemberton Arms . . .

Even marry the man who’s trying to steal it away.

The last thing Englishman Nicholas St. George wanted was a rundown seaside hotel in America. But when his stepfather Jonathan dies, Nicolas finds out he has inherited more than a ramshackle establishment by the sea: he is now the guardian of the child who calls the Pemberton Arms home.

Except she isn’t a child at all. She’s a beautiful young woman of wit and fire who is willing to fight for her home, even if that means tossing her lot in with the enemy from the other side of the ocean: Nicholas!

Originally published August 1992 in Harlequin Historical #135.
