When she is singled out for her lack of beauty by the Marquess, she begins to doubt if she is deserving of the love she inwardly craves. When unusual things start happening around her, Rosalind can't help but wonder if Lord Barronsfield or his curse are who and what they appear to be. When she openly challenges Stephen about the curse, he begins to doubt everything - and comes to realize that this apparently plain, ordinary woman is not as unremarkable as he believed. Strange things are happening in Barronsfield. As they move closer to the truth, Rosalind unwittingly finds herself in the sights of the real beast in Barronsfield, and Stephen must decide if his growing love for Rosalind will be his salvation or her doom.

The very serious but oh-so handsome Marquess of Ellsworth needs an assistant for his observatory, and it's the perfect opportunity to earn the money she needs to hatch her husband-hunting plan. What isn't in her plans is to fall in love with a Duke-in-waiting...someone as out of reach as the stars.For Colin Middleton, Lord Ellsworth, his scientific endeavors have been the distraction for his broken heart, not the bevy of ladies his marriage-minded parents have invited for a grand ball.
