A Season for Romance

Lord Beaufort McCandless, the Marquess of Kingsford, has lived much of his life kept away from proper Society. Born with mismatched eyes, Beau's parents thought him the product of a gypsy curse. Hidden away at his family's ancestral home along the Suffolk coast, Beau has grown up nearly alone. Beautiful but penniless, Lady Dinah Crestfield is on her way to become governess to the unruly children of a duke in the wilds of Norfolk. The daughter of a baron, she was once pampered and celebrated for miles around until her father died in debtor's prison over unpaid gambling debts. When her carriage overturns near the entrance to the notoriously reclusive Marquess of Kingsford's home, Dinah is forced to either seek shelter with the so-called "cursed marquess" or freeze to death. Can she swallow her fear long enough to spend a few nights beneath the man's roof and is she brave enough to see what lies beneath the man's appearance?
