title: The Marrying Season
author: Kirkland, Martha
description: Miss Sommes Under Siege
  
  Lovely Miss Columbine Sommes, better known as Colly, mocked the thought of marriage. Her season in the London marriage mart had convinced her that a single state was the best of all possible worlds. But now Lord Ethan Raymond, the most handsome, wealthy, and thoroughly desirable lord in all the realm, had come visiting her country home, to seek her hand in wedlock. Or so she thought.
  
  But Colly soon woke to the devastating truth: the imperious Lord Raymond thought she was the jade who had led his younger brother astray, and he had come to repair the damage and settle the score. And suddenly Colly found her honor in peril...and her heart in danger as Lord Raymond embarked on a campaign of conquest that he would do anything to win--and she would do anything to lose...
