on Amazon
True love comes from the heart and not from what one can see…
Olivia Heywood has accepted her fate that she will remain a spinster for the rest of her life. Since her father The Duke of Shalestone’s death a year ago, she has been left with nothing but crippling debts. Olivia does not want her sister to endure the same fate as her. So when an opportunity to become a dance instructor to a wealthy Marquess arises, she believes it may be the answer to her problems. Alexander Sedgewick is the Marquess of Lovewell and is set to inherit the dukedom of Bembridge.
He was born almost blind and has grown accustomed to his world of darkness. A failed courtship and disastrous London Season has led him to a recluse life in the London countryside. His worst nightmare comes true when his father falls ill and forces him to once again attend the London Season. But when a young dance instructor comes into his life, she lights up the dark world he has only ever known. Olivia is intrigued by the recluse Marquess of Lovewell. As she instructs him in the art of dancing, Olivia discovers there is more to Alexander than meets the eye. Alexander vowed not to fall in love again, but being with Olivia has given him hope. Will Olivia and Alexander be able to overcome their biggest fears? Or will the obstacles standing in the way of their blossoming love tear them apart?
