He is everything she wants to avoid...

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.
She is not at all what she seems...

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...

I can not give an accurate number of times I wanted to reach in and give Catherine Marks a hug. Since meeting her in the series, I loved her and I really wanted to know more about her background. I was able to guess several aspects of her background and as the details were revealed in this book, I felt for her even more. Even Leo, who wasn't always easy to like in the firs book, grew to be a sexy, charming--if still a rake--man throughout this series and I was ready for him to fall in love.&nbsp

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved Cat and Leo together. I knew that their banter would turn into love from the pervious books but I didn't know the manner in which it would happen. The slow decent into trust and love that Cat and Leo went on in Married By Morning left me cheering for them. Cat has not had an easy life and as I learned more about her, and knowing what we know about Leo's past, I wondered how they were going to get past their walls. Instead of simply breaking down walls, Cat and Leo chipped at their walls and only broke off chunks as the other opened up. Cat didn't  push for more about Leo and he didn't push her of more information. When trust was built and unwavering, both Cat and Leo gave in to their feelings.
