A scarred lord. A beautiful lady
Will they ever find peace or will fear drive them apart?
Kimberley Clemens wrote a letter to her aunt.
It was slightly bawdy and very bold.
But she didn’t care.
It wasn’t as though her aunt read her letters anyway.
Yet someone read it.
James Hayden IV, the Marquess of Denhallow has never read anyone else’s mail, but life in exile has made him desperate for company.
His face had been horribly disfigured.
And… thus he locked himself away from the world.
Needing a connection, he reads Kim’s letter… and dares to respond.
One letter after another changes their lives forever.
Friendship turns into a marriage of convenience.
And forces James from exile and back into the eyes of Society.
But danger not only lurks in the ballrooms of the Ton, but on the streets of London.
Can James and Kim’s fragile marriage survive the opinions of Society?
Or will James’ scars make him run, not only from the world, but from the woman who holds his heart?

"While the plot was somewhat engaging, for a riff on Beauty and the Beast, that's be here the positive stops. The writing is sophomoric, with far too many abrupt sentences, and very awkward prose. There were many incorrect usages of words, and an endless supply of sentences ending with prepositions. Add to that a lot of formatting errors and triple spacing between very short paragraphs and you get a book that's a bear to read. The triple spacing is just a way to bump up the page count, and disingenuous at best. I have read a couple of this author's other books and don't remember being this disappointed."

- James Hayden IV, the Marquess of Denhallow, had broken many of Society’s rules, but reading someone else’s letter had never been one of them – until now. Lady Macy had been refusing to read the letters from her great-niece Miss Kimberley Clemens for four years, so they sat in a pile.
Two years ago, a madman had attacked James with a knife, and carved up his face badly. The doctor tried his best to do what he could, but the scars were severe. Lady Macy had started visiting the ill, and she and James became friends. He had locked himself away in his home and would not go out, until Lady Macy claimed her hip bothered her and he had to come to her. He saw no evidence of her discomfort, yet he continued to come to see her and their friendship solidified.
James was lonely, having driven all of his friends away, so when yet another letter arrives and is cast aside by Lady Macy, he steals it and reads it. Miss Clemens begins talking about bees – very odd! It soon became obvious that Miss Clemens had hopes that Lord Louvell would stay away, despite his wealth, wishing she could surround their home with bees to make sure he avoided her. James began laughing at her silliness in describing Lord Louvell and her forced, uncomfortable interaction with him. He writes back to her and the two begin corresponding regularly, getting to know each other better and understanding how the other feels. Having her share her honest feelings to him about everything around her was a valued treasure to him. He had written to her for a moment’s entertainment, but her sincerity was changing him; she was becoming special to him. And when James wrote to her that “If I could, I would fashion a world dedicated to your happiness,†she began to fall in love with him.
Then suddenly a letter comes that changes everything. Kimberley is being forced to marry the disgusting, self-centered Lord Louvell. If James doesn’t get to her by the next day and marry her himself, he will lose her forever. All his fears about his disfigurement smother him, but he hurries to Leeds. Will he figure out how to win her when Lord Louvell has already established his claim? Would her family accept the disfigured stranger over the marriage they had arranged for her? Or can they find love, peace, and contentment with each other?
I loved this book! Learning about someone without the visual distraction can create a surprisingly deep and lasting bond. They wrote to each other, knew how each other felt about things, what was important to the other, what caused them pain – and they learned to care deeply. This was a beautiful story, great pacing, and wonderful characters that were real and likable. This is one of those stories that will touch your heart. Don’t miss reading it for yourself to see what they must overcome and whether it will be strong enough to last. - While the plot was somewhat engaging, for a riff on Beauty and the Beast, that's be here the positive stops.

- Loved, loved, loved this book! Most of the characters from Deborah Wilson's previous "Valiant Love" series are in this story. It was like being able to catch up with old friends. (I just love this series) It held a range of emotions from sadness, humor, disgust, anger and love. The feelings are realistic and relatable. It was easy to identify with the character's emotions. The sadness can be summed up by this quote from the book "After everything he'd done for her, he deserved happiness. Admiration. He would have it. She would crush him with it." I think that speaks for itself. At the beginning, I had to laugh at the hysterical audacity of Miss Kimberley Clemens. She is extremely delightful with her forthright and imaginative musings, which she only shares with Lord James Hayden IV, Marquess of Denhallow. She catches his attention because he read her letter written to her Aunt May who is his neighbor. Their romance and relationship is full of the pain and sorrow from their past. But there is also kindness, devotion and loyalty in this book. Together they embark on a quest to be there for each other, to support each other, to grant each other a chance for reprieve from the demands of society and to heal each other. Kim gets James to acknowledge he needs to reach out to a group of men that were caught up in the horror he experienced two years prior. When in London, while Kim is being introduced to society, he is meeting with the four men with a shared experience. The men come to a conclusion that their ordeal is not over. This book will take you on a rollercoaster ride were the highs are high and the lows are low. There are twists and turns in the storyline that make it unpredictable to really know the ending. My deduction of how things would end were way off base. I did not see the ending coming. An excellent read that I highly recommend.
