The Reckless Bride/Stephanie Laurens/449 pgs.

Stephanie Laurens is one of my favorite historical romance authors. The Reckless Bride is the 4th entry in the "Black Cobra Quartet." You really need to read the other 3 first! It takes place in the 1820s and goes from India to the final meeting place in England. The goal is to take down the "Black Cobra" who is wreaking havoc throughout the world. One of 4 officers has incriminating information against the Black Cobra; the other 3 are decoys. Through adventure, courage, romance, etc., The Reckless Bride satisfactorily concludes this quartet.
