title: The Seventh Suitor
author: Matthews, Laura
description: Kate had had half a dozen proposals but she would give her hand to no man who had not first won her heart.
  
  "I fear we should not suit, sir!" said Kate.
  
  As the fifth young man to offer for her hand that afternoon revealed his purpose and his "prospects," even Kate had to laugh at the absurd prank her brother's friends were playing. But once years ago, she remembered, she had refused such a proposal, and there had been sad consequences. Now all she had to remember that suitor by was a legacy--one, her haughty neighbor Lord Winterton felt, no lady of honor would accept.

  A Lord She Hated to Love
  
  Miss Kate Montgomery had a firm idea of the only kind of many she would marry - if she chose to wed at all.  He would have to think  a woman was as good as a man, respect both her mind and her feelings, and spark the warmest love in her.
  
  No wonder Kate had already rejected six suitors.  And no wonder the Earl of Winterton seemed the most unlikely suitor of all.  Winterton was horribly haughty, shockingly loose-living, and suprememly confident that his strking good looks, charm, wit and wealth were all a woman could want.  And what was even worse, he did not seem interested in marrying Kate at all....
  
  Hero: Earl of Winterton
  Heroine: Miss Kate Montgomery
