Lady Eleanor is convinced she will never be asked to
marry, and not because she loves astronomy. Her bright red hair, tendency to
speak loudly, and penchant for clumsiness has only the oldest lords bothering
to even talk to her. So as the Belinda School for Curious Ladies closes for the
holidays, she accepts a marriage proposal sight unseen from Lord Darius
Taylour, the Marquess of Ferncroft—a widower. All she knows about him is that he
is looking for a mother for his two children and is younger than her father.
Darius’s “black moods” are a secret known to only a
handful of people, and he plans to keep it that way. Since his first wife was not
what she’d first appeared, he is pleased that his younger brother arranged a
marriage for him with an intelligent woman who will welcome his two children.
It doesn’t take long for him to discover that Ellie is not only nothing like
his first wife, but also not like other women.
As Ellie disrupts his house, plans an elaborate
Christmastide, and takes over the education of his children, he finds himself
too distracted to become melancholy. Just as he begins to appreciate her many
attributes, he’s reminded of why he must never relax his guard. His wife may
well reach for the stars, but his feet are stuck deep in the mud, and he can
see no way out.
