title: Courting Caressa
author: Ronayne, S.J.
description: Caressa has been waiting for the offer of one particular man. She wants only Kirkland. One cold night, she learns the devastating reason he has never asked. Kirkland does not believe a small woman is right for him, certainly unable to tolerate his forceful love-making. But the woman he wants is best suited with another. Taking advantage of Caressa at a wedding, he is forced to offer for the petite lady. Caressa fears she may have to settle for being in Kirkland's bed and not his heart. Kirkland is surprised to find his perfect bed-partner in his diminutive wife and starts to look at her with new eyes. Can Caressa come to terms with her loveless marriage or will Kirkland realize his mistake and heal his lady's broken heart by courting Caressa?
