The Blind Duke

Seven Deadly Sins in Victorian London: Vanity

He lost his sight, but he hasn't lost his touch

All
his life Thomas Powell, the Duke of Ashford has been beautiful and
enjoyed the privileges that come with it. One bad decision leads to an
accident that leaves him blind and strips him of his place in society.
Desperate to gain back his status, Thomas devises a plan to win the hand
of the season’s more desirable woman but finds it more difficult than
he expected and forces him to find help.
Eloisa Noble has returned
to London to help her beautiful cousin navigate the season in hopes of
finding a husband. Memories from her own failed season years before
haunt her and make her desperate to leave the city for good, but only
obtaining the funds for independence will allow her that. An offer from
the devilishly handsome Duke could be the answer to her problem, but she
finds it difficult to keep it just business between them.
As they
work towards creating a couple that Society would approve of, the two of
them might discover that love doesn’t care about appearances alone.
They will look past the expectations of others and find that real beauty
can be a surprise.
