β¦ Synopsis
CAUGHT BETWEEN DUTY...
George Augustus Griffin, Viscount Chanderley has to marryβfast: His father has ordered him to find a suitable wife this very Season. Alas, the only woman Griff has eyes for is the very unsuitable Miss Carlotta Stanton, who is not only unbecomingly tall, but also wears the ugliest spectacles in all of England. Still, Griff is utterly bewitched by her intense green eyes. Yes however much he feels drawn to her joie de vivre, duty and honour demand that he stay far away from Miss Stanton.
...AND DESIRE...
Dubbed βthe Giantessβ because of her unfortunate height, Charlie Stanton finds the London Season far less glamorous than she had thought it would beβnot the least because she is consigned a place among the wallflowers. But then she becomes acquainted with the very dashing Lord Chanderley, whose life is overshadowed by a terrible tragedy in his past. Ever ready to help others, Charlie is determined to rid him of his Sad Melancholiaβeven if it means taking on wild boars and highwaymen. However, the biggest challenged might be the elusive viscount himself and his belief that he is beyond all redemption.
