Izzy unexpectedly inherits a potentially haunted, definitely falling apart castle, complete with a blind, scarred duke who is also kind of a beast. The inheritance couldn't have come at a better time, as Izzy's neglectful father left her with nothing, despite the huge popularity of his children's fairy tales written "for her." 26, plain, and never been kissed, Izzy is the eternal optimist but can't wait to get her hands on the castle and maybe even the duke...

Super sweet, with a nice, not quite unexpected twist, with lots of steam. I love Tessa Dare's heroines and heroes!
