Publisher's Synopsis
The only good that Arabella Fanshawe's beauty has brought her is her beloved little daughter, Libby. The Earl of Aldershotte's academic career has been cut short by his sudden loss of vision, and he has been forced to retire to his country estate to try to come to terms with his blindness. Distrusting her cursed looks, Arabella finds the prospect of working for a blind man appealing, despite her skepticism that any gentleman would hire a woman as a secretary. It remains to be seen whether the young widow's resourcefulness can overcome the gentleman's pride and despair, whether his home will prove to be the refuge she seeks from her past - and whether she will be able to resist the powerful attraction between her and her brilliant, brooding employer. This is another in the captivating Carlisle Chronicles that evoke England's Regency period with engaging and sharply-drawn characters, vivid romance, witty dialogue, and cameos by real historical figures.
