Lord Alexander Bainbridge, Earl of Burleigh, 30, is one of the most handsome and eligible bachelors in Society—and a renowned rake to boot. Hiding a painful past caused by his parents’ unhappy marriage, he’s vowed never to wed. Then, he meets the Scarred Lady, a woman treated poorly by Society because of a disfigurement. Impressed by her kind, brave nature and sorry for the way she’s treated, he resolves to help her gain social acceptance by showing an interest in her. But things take an unexpected turn when he starts to experience feelings for her he’s never known before. As the walls he’s built around his heart start to crumble, can he confront his past and accept true love into his life?
At 17,the beautiful Thora Kingsley was considered a catch for any nobleman. But at 24, she’s decidedly on the shelf, for just after her successful come-out ball, she had an accident that left her permanently scarred. Slighted by the ton because of her disfigurement, she’s lost her confidence. While she attends the Season to support her family, she always wears a veil to hide her scars, fading into the background, thankful to be ignored. That is, until a chance meeting with a handsome, rakish earl starts to challenge her belief that she’s unworthy of love and brings a chance for happiness she never thought would come. But with such a painful past, will she dare to take it?
