title: Marriage Mart
author: Kirch, Kelly
description: Lady Ester Richmond enjoys the freedom of living on her father's country estate, uninhibited by the irrational whims of a husband. But her father is determined to see her wed to a man she has never met. So with the help of her friends, Lady Ester masquerades as a young lord to find information about her betrothed and discover a way to thwart the engagement. Not even the disapproval of her oldest friend's stuffy brother will stop her. Marcus, Earl of Rochester, has resurrected his family from near ruin and will protect their assets and their reputation at all costs. But when his sister joins the impetuous Lady Ester in a rash adventure, he cannot overlook the scandal certain to ensue. This time Ester has gone too far and Marcus is determined to halt her disastrous escapade. But when a blackmailer threatens them all, Marcus and Ester must learn to put aside their differences and accept that sometimes the promise of each other is worth a little scandal.
