Ever since Lord Gabriel Sharpe's best friend Roger Waverly died in a horse race against Gabriel over seven years ago, Gabriel has been dubbed the "Angel of Death" for his ability to cheat Death in daring races. But no one outside his family knows that he's wrought with guilt over Roger's death. In addition, Gabe has his grandmother's ultimatum of marrying hanging over his head as well. But maybe a solution to both problems is not far off.

After Gabriel's most recent race, Roger's younger sister Virginia challenges him to a race, which offers Gabriel the perfect opportunity to assuage his guilt while meeting his grandmother's demands by courting her. Only one problem -- Virginia can't stand to be around him, or so she thinks.

Virginia's grandfather, General Isaac Waverly, has always blamed Gabriel for Roger's death, but the more time she spends with Gabriel, the more she begins to wonder about the truth behind the race. As she begins to see the man Gabriel truly is, and finds that she has blossoming feelings for him, Virginia decides she needs answers about that race, but will the answers threaten her new found happiness with Gabriel?

In TO WED A WILD LORD, the fourth book in her "Hellions of Hallstead Hall," author Sabrina Jeffries continues to delight her fans with the lively, feisty and always sexy Sharpe family and their adventures in finding love. Focusing on youngest grandson Gabriel in this tale, Jeffries also has a delightful side-story running through the book that has Grandmother Hetty Plumtree finding a bit of mature romance as well -- who says the grandkids can have all the fun! This series is a pleasure to read and I always look forward to the next Hellion escapade to come!
