With her focus on the stars, will she miss what's right beneath her nose?
Lady Eleanor is convinced she will never be asked to marry, and not because she loves astronomy. Her bright red hair, tendency to speak loudly, and penchant for clumsiness has only the oldest lords bothering to even talk to her. So as the Belinda School for Curious Ladies closes for the holidays, she accepts a marriage proposal sight unseen from Lord Darius Taylour, the Marquess of Ferncroft-a widower. All she knows about him is that he is looking for a mother for his two children and is younger than her father.
Darius's "black moods" are a secret known to only a handful of people, and he plans to keep it that way. Since his first wife was not what she'd first appeared, he is pleased that his younger brother arranged a marriage for him with an intelligent woman who will welcome his two children. It doesn't take long for him to discover that Ellie is not only nothing like his first wife, but also not like other women.
As Ellie disrupts his house, plans an elaborate Christmastide, and takes over the education of his children, he finds himself too distracted to become melancholy. Just as he begins to appreciate her many attributes, he's reminded of why he must never relax his guard. His wife may well reach for the stars, but his feet are stuck deep in the mud, and he can see no way out.
