Romance Historical

Louisa Shelby loves her carefree life until her father commits suicide and leaves her penniless. As her friends melt away, Louisa realizes how shallow her life has become. Trying to find some way to make a living, Louisa recognizes she has a talent for instilling in shy young ladies the self-confidence they need to deal with the complexities of society. The Dowager Viscountess hires Louisa to aid her clumsy granddaughter, but fails to mention that her grandson, who was blinded in an accident, also lives with her. Louisa remembers the popular viscount as always being the life of the party. Simon, Lord Wade, accepts his limitations and prefers to avoid society. After the accident, his friends gathered uncomfortably around him. Now, only a very few of them continue to visit. Simon loved his old life of endless parties and fun, but he's overcome his self-pity. Now, he just needs his family to accept his limitations and quit treating him like a fragile piece of crystal. Regardless of his grandmother's wishes, Simon will not allow Louisa to help him. Louisa watches Simon hide his emotions and entertain his family, while not allowing anyone to get too close. Without success, Simon tries to ignore the attraction that simmers between him and Louisa. He rejects marriage, so Louisa must change his mind or leave. Ms. Callen writes with hope and care as Louisa challenges Simon to overcome his disabilities and once again embrace life's possibilities. This pleasing romance will tug at heartstrings as Simon chooses the path he will take.
