Tema: A PROUD BEAUTY Society beauty Sylvia Stafford is far too pragmatic to pine. When the tragic death of her gamester father leaves her destitute and alone; she finds work as a governess in a merchant's household in Cheapside. Isolated from the fashionable acquaintance of her youth; she resigns herself to lonely spinsterhood until a mysterious visitor convinces her to temporarily return to her former life--and her former love. A SCARRED BEAST Colonel Sebastian Conrad is no longer the dashing cavalry officer Sylvia once fell in love with. Badly scarred during the Sepoy Rebellion; he has withdrawn to his estate in rural Hertfordshire where he lives in near complete seclusion. Brooding and tormented; he cares nothing for the earldom he has inherited--and even less for the faithless beauty who rejected him three years before. A SECOND CHANCE A week together in the remote Victorian countryside is the last thing either of them ever wanted. But when fate intervenes to reunite them; will a beastly earl and an impoverished beauty finally find their happily-ever-after? Or are some fairy-tale endings simply not meant to be?
