About this ebook

Married by Morning continues Lisa Kleypas's Hathaways beloved series set in Victorian London.

For two years, Catherine Marks has been a paid companion to the Hathaway sisters—a pleasant position, with one caveat. Her charges' older brother, Leo Hathaway, is thoroughly exasperating. Cat can hardly believe that their constant arguing could mask a mutual attraction. But when one quarrel ends in a sudden kiss, Cat is shocked at her powerful response—and even more so when Leo proposes a dangerous liaison.

Leo must marry and produce an heir within a year to save his family home. Catherine's respectable demeanor hides a secret that would utterly destroy her. But to Leo, Cat is intriguing and infernally tempting, even to a man resolved never to love again. The danger Cat tried to outrun is about to separate them forever—unless two wary lovers can find a way to banish the shadows and give in to their desires...

Ratings and reviews

This story kept me listening. I enjoyed the journey as Cat and Leo found love while working beyond their pasts. Cat's past haunted her as she tried to rise above it. Leo was accepting of her past as his own was not perfect. They made a great couple, and I had tears by the end of this book. The narrator, Rosalyn Landor, did a wonderful job with the story and the characters. This was an abridged edition, and I may look into finding an unabridged to see what I missed. This is my unsolicited review.

I was new to this author, but I'm hooked- Leo is written with such wit and i couldn't put it down (as with the rest in the series)

Another Hathaway book that I loved. Leo and Catherine were so witty and funny together that i could help but laugh out loud throughout reading this book
