title: Married by Morning (Hathaways, Book 4)
author:  Lisa Kleypas 
description: *Starred Review* Everyone in the Hathaway family loves Catherine Marks. Well, everyone except for the head of the family, Leo, Lord Ramsay. Leo thinks Catherine is far too outspoken, opinionated, and obstinate for a companion, and Catherine has an equally high opinion of her employer. For the sake of his sisters, however, Leo manages to strike an uneasy truce. But when he suddenly discovers he has one year to find a wife and produce an heir or lose the familys beloved home, the first (and only) woman he even considers marrying is the one who drives him crazy. The only problem is that Catherine is a lady with secrets, and one of those secrets is about to destroy her carefully cultivated new life unless Leo can convince her to trust him to help set things right. A sharp-witted and sharp-tongued heroine closely guards the secret of her past from an equally determined hero with a few secrets of his own in the latest sinfully sensual, superbly written addition to Kleypas wickedly funny Hathaway series. --John Charles

  Kev Merripen wasn’t surprised by the signs of bad luck as his wedding day
  approached. But he was determined to have Win as his wife, no matter what
  obstacles had to be overcome.
  
  “Nothing is going to stop this wedding,” he told her as he came into her
  bedroom one evening before the ceremony. “I’m going to marry you if lightning
  strikes the church. I’m going to marry you if the entirevillageofStony Cross
  is flooded, or the pastor is drunk, or animals stampede through the ceremony.”
