After
her father uproots the family to the northern duchy of Brackenhurst,

debts, she and her youngest sister seek employment in the Duke of
Brackenhurst's household despite fearsome rumors.
Scarred
and maimed from a terrible fire Silas Isling, Duke of Brackenhurst,
buries himself in his work to avoid the stares of pity and fear. When
one of the new maids shows no fear at his appearance, he is
intrigued. That is until his meddling steward gives her the task of
cleaning Silas' bookroom. It is a most unwelcome disruption since he
prefers to be alone.
While
a thief plagues his castle, an old nemesis reappears, and enemies
invade in the guise of guests. Amidst the distractions and chaos,
Grace brings some unexpected order. Once convinced his scars had
stolen all hope for love, Silas finds his life forever changed by the
quiet maid. Could she love a scarred Duke?

Rachel
Rossano is a happily married mother of three children. She spends her
days teaching, mothering, and keeping the chaos at bay. After the
little ones are in bed, she immerses herself in the fantasy worlds of
her books. Tales of romance, adventure, and virtue set in a medieval
fantasy world are her preference, but she also writes speculative
fantasy and a bit of science fiction.
