Star Bright

Written by Miranda Jarrett
Review by Shannon Wally

The Fairbourne family saga continues in Star Bright. Diana Fairbourne left America for London to find a titled husband, and her mission is a success until love intervenes. Fate brings her to a captain in the royal navy, James Dunham, who seeks to woo Diana from her intended, the Marquis of Roxby. His pursuit is merciless, for he believes he holds the key to her happiness. However, life has another twist for Diana as she learns that the one who has stolen her heart is also the enemy of her entire family. Will she be saved from a loveless union with the Marquis of Roxby? Only time will tell, as their adventures carry them through London and the English countryside.
