About the book
THERE are none so blind who will not see
Miss Louisa Stapley defied every description of a lady. But it was mere misfortune which was responsible for many of her misadventures.
Having rescued her from her most recent mishap, Lord Alnstrop decided to see to it that she had no more. Grateful as she was, Louisa left Lord Alnstrop's care, over his strenuous objections, to take up a position as governess.
Though Louisa was happy in her new life, she could not help but feel something was missing. Apparently, Lord Alnstrop felt much the same, for his arrival indicated he had not yet finished with his most unusual lady.
