Rosalie was born with a distinct birthmark on her right cheek. Over the years she has grown accustomed to the ugly stares she gets from others. But she reminds herself that it’s not what is on the outside, rather what is in one’s heart that truly matters…
Rosalie has worked for the Earl and Countess of Winsdale for the last eight years. But their children have grown up and no longer require a governess. The Countess of Winsdale puts in a good word for Rosalie and she’s hired to be a governess to the Dowager Duchess of Livinwood’s granddaughter, Sophia. Rosalie leaves for the countryside to take up her new post and is instantly met with hostility. In time, she forms a strong bond with Sophia, but what she didn’t expect is the strong attraction she feels to Sophia’s handsome father—The Duke of Livinwood.
Cedric Livington, The Duke of Livinwood, loves his daughter Sophia despite her different colored eyes. Over the last year, they have seen many governesses come and go, with most of the women finding Sophia’s appearance too unsettling. Cedric’s mother hires a new governess and tells him that this time will be different. When Cedric first locks eyes with Rosalie he is instantly captivated.
As Rosalie and Cedric grow closer they are confronted by a force that will stop at nothing to destroy their happiness. Will Cedric and Rosalie get their happily ever after or will their enemy tear them apart?
*If you like engaging characters, heart-wrenching twists and turns, and lots of romance, then you’ll love this novel.
