The Sherbrook Bride Series

The Sherbrook Bride is the first book in this series. The author introduces the reader to Douglas Sherbrooke, who is the Earl of Northcliff. Douglas Sherbrooke is more than determined to have an heir; thus he goes to look for a perquisite bride. Duke of Beresford, Alexandria Chambers has been in love with Douglas Sherbrook ever since she was fifteen years. However, it is her younger sister, Melisande who he prefers. Nonetheless, life has always turned out as no one expects since Douglas ends up wedding the wrong sister. Tony whom he had to send to marry Melisande by proxy takes Mellisande to himself and marries Tony to Alex. Once he came back, Douglas is exceedingly furious at the betrayal.

However, instead of annulling the wedding or trying to understand his wife better, he decides to ridicule and humiliate Alex at any opportunity that she gets. However, it is not that he was in love with her sister. The main reason why he decides to act the way he did is that his pride was hurt and he just needed a person to take out his frustrations on. When the marriage is consummated finally, he decides to blame her for making him lose control in bed. From the very first instance, Douglass was not only acting childishly, but he also acted like a jerk. The main reason as to why Alex had agreed to commit to Douglas is mainly because she had always been secretly in love with him.

Alex is an exceedingly pretty and lovely girl. However because Mellisande was more beautiful than her, she has always been in her shadows her entire life.
