by Julia Quinn](brighter.gif)
In 1817 England, Charles Wycombe, Earl of Billington is in
desperate need of a bride before his upcoming 30th birthday, otherwise
his very substantial inheritance will go to his detestable cousin.
Deep in his cups to drown his sorrows he falls -- quite
literally -- upon the solution to his problem. Miss Eleanor Lyndon needs
a new home immediately. Her father the vicar's impending nuptials to
the autocratic Mrs. Foxglove will make living at home a nightmare.
Forced together by circumstances, Eleanor and Charles marry,
each expecting a marriage of convenience. What they find,
however, is an unanticipated passion and a web of intrigue
as it appears someone is trying to murder Charles.
Brighter Than the Sun is a warm, witty and wonderful
tale from talented author
Julia Quinn. Her greatest skill
is in the blending of humor with utterly captivating
characters who brim with life. A fun and charming read.
