About The Island Bride

In the summer of 1860, Prince Edward Island is astir as its citizens eagerly anticipate their first visit from a member of the British royal family. Molly Orland is too poor to be invited to the ball honoring the young Prince of Wales, but she and several other local young women are pleased when they are hired as extra staff in the house where he will stay. There she meets Peter Stark, understeward for the royal party.

Peter is attracted to the beauty of the island—and to Molly, whom he’s determined to shield from the antics of the playboy prince. When they discover a long-buried secret that could bring shame to Peter’s royal employer, will he remain a loyal servant—or help Molly and her family get the justice they deserve?

Sweet, inspirational romance set against the historic visit of Queen Victoria’s son to the island.

(Note: The Island Bride was originally published as Love Finds You in Prince Edward Island, Canada, and that’s actually the version I’m reading as it’s at the top of my to-read mountain. Also, The Island Bride is a bit of a misnomer as a title).
