Description
Five years ago, Miss Martha Elwood had been introduced to London’s High Society. But to her dismay, shortly afterward she was deemed a wallflower by the ton which didn’t help to encourage potential suitors. After five seasons, Martha has made her peace with never marrying and remaining a spinster for the rest of her life. But that all changes when her father arranges a marriage between her and Lord Bennington! A gentleman is renowned for his distinct facial scarring and reclusive lifestyle.
Three years ago, Albert Bennington—the sole heir to the earldom of Balmere—was involved in an altercation with highwaymen, leaving him deeply scarred on the right side of his face. To make matters worse, his beloved Lady Cordelia called off their betrothal. Since then, he has withdrawn from society and has been living a reclusive life in the countryside. But he returns after receiving word from his father. Nothing can prepare Albert for his father’s shocked announcement that he has arranged for him to marry. Albert wants no part of his father’s plans and secretly conspires to push away his intended.
However, an unexpected romance starts to bloom between Albert and Martha. Will they get their happily ever after, or will past insecurities keep them apart?
