  • He's
  • a
  • gentleman
  • with
  • rakish
  • tendancies
  • but
  • she's
  • determined
  • to
  • be
  • the
  • perfect
  • spinster. Miss
  • Olivia
  • Redfield's
  • prospects
  • for
  • marriage
  • are
  • nonexistent,
  • bleak
  • at
  • best.
  • Removed
  • from
  • society
  • for
  • an
  • ill-fated
  • physical
  • defect,
  • she's
  • resigned
  • herself
  • to
  • caring
  • for
  • others
  • in
  • a
  • somewhat
  • dreary
  • existence...That
  • is,
  • until
  • she
  • finds
  • herself
  • falling
  • for
  • the
  • charming
  • but
  • unattainable,
  • Lord
  • Kingsley. Gabriel
  • Fellowes,
  • Earl
  • of
  • Kingsley
  • is
  • doing
  • a
  • favor
  • for
  • a
  • friend
  • by
  • overseeing
  • the
  • dangerous––
  • but
  • promising––mine
  • on
  • the
  • border
  • of
  • Viscount
  • Hallowell's
  • property.
  • With
  • extra
  • time
  • on
  • his
  • hands,
  • he
  • finds
  • himself
  • irresistibly
  • provoked
  • by
  • the
  • viscount's
  • nymph–like
  • daughter
  • and
  • delights
  • in
  • needling
  • her
  • as
  • well.
  • In
  • no
  • position
  • to
  • promise
  • more
  • than
  • a
  • dalliance,
  • Gabriel
  • takes
  • the
  • unprecedented
  • step
  • of
  • becoming
  • her
  • friend. Their
  • flirtatious
  • attachment
  • threatens
  • to
  • erupt
  • in
  • passion,
  • but
  • duty
  • and
  • honor
  • forbid
  • anything
  • more.
  • Will
  • love
  • be
  • defeated
  • when
  • tragedy
  • strikes,
  • or
  • can
  • these
  • two
  • overcome
  • Society's
  • dictates
  • and
  • conquer
  • a
  • century
  • old curse?
