Lady Dramatic — Kate Archer

Serenity Nicolet, fourth daughter of the Duke of Pelham, girds herself to face her season. She sat last year out as her twin, Patience, went forward. She'd hoped an extra year would bring progress in regulating her wildly swinging emotions-a sunset, a sunrise, even a dead bee in the garden, can all set her off. It is unlikely that any gentleman will wish for a weeping bride...Roland Garner, Marquess of Thorpe, and eldest son of the Duke of Mariton, was haunted all his childhood by his sentimentality, and the younger brother who delighted in pointing it out. He's older now, though, and has successfully donned a mask of reserve and disinterest, as if nary a breeze ruffles his feathers.
