The Suitor
Sandy Hingston

He will court her. He will love her. He will break her heart.

Beautiful, wealthy Katherine Devereaux doesn't just think she's better than everyone else -- she knows it. Her snobbish ways alienate everyone she meets -- and her parents fear her marriage prospects are ruined. Determined to uncover their hard-hearted daughter's soft side, they apply to Countess Christiane d'Oliveri for help.

The countess has the perfect solution: She pays French ne'er-do-well Alain Montclair to court the duke's daughter and break her cold heart in two. But in the process of earning his pay, Alain discovers that Katherine, behind her haughty airs and petty pretensions, is a deeply lonely young woman who is desperate for love.

But no one is more surprised than Katherine to learn how much she is willing to give up in the name of love, once she dares to let Alain into her heart.
