A Lost Lord's Deception

A bookish daydreamer, Lady Rebecca St. John, sister of the notorious Viscount Sutton, is firmly on the shelf. Viewed by many as plain, she has also suffered from debilitating megrims her entire life. Now her only marriage prospect is a gentleman who wishes to see her wedded, bedded, with child and stashed in the country so he can spend her dowry on gambling debts. Hoping to preserve some shred of dignity, she's made the decision to retire from Society and live a quiet life in the country. There's only one problem the estate she's chosen is also home to a man who has fascinated her for the last two years.

Given away as a child due to a birthmark, Aaron Dunn has spent his entire life hiding in the shadows. Unable to make a living doing anything else, Aaron has settled into life as, of all things, an ornamental garden hermit at Marfield Meadows, one of the Sutton viscounty estates. While it's hardly the life he desires for himself, he's also well aware that the mark on his face leaves him no other choice. However, when Aaron learns that Becca, the woman who has been the center of his fantasies for the last two years, is planning on retiring to Marfield, he wonders if, once again, he'll have to make a new life for himself elsewhere.

When Aaron rescues Becca from an attack on the estate, the two finally meet face to face. They also discover that what they both believed was a one-sided attraction is, instead, a fiery passion between them that neither of them can ignore. Can Becca and Aaron find a way to be together? Or will a dark secret from his past tear them apart even if it means they might have a chance to finally be together?
