Finally, This Season — Sarita Leone

Alexandra can't think of anything more annoying than being told she must choose a husband, and soon, but that's exactly what's happened. Her father has decided she's of an age where marriage is appropriate -- necessary, even -- and has decreed she will choose her own husband this Season or he will do the choosing for her. What is a proper young woman to do in circumstances such as these? That is precisely what Alexandra is contemplating as she takes a walk in the park, and accidentally kicks a stone at a handsome stranger.
