Hartley, Lord Kentigern, was burned on the right side of his face and body during a fire which killed his father and little brother. Eleven years later, he's still brooding over the loss of his family as well as the fiancee he loved but left him after his accident. Hart's sister wishes he could let go of his pain, to move forward and hopefully find happiness. She arranges for his fiancee, Melody, to be at a masquerade ball so she can apologize to Hart and clear the air.The first third of the story introduces the characters and mostly takes place at Hart's estate with he and his sister. The next third of the story takes place at a Valentine's masquerade ball, where Hart is immediately (and unknowingly) drawn to Melody. The final third of the story is a deep conversation between Hart and Melody where we learn the whole history of their break-up and they both accept responsibility for what happened. Can there be a new beginning for them?Great little novella with sweet but passionate story. This book is about 65 pages since the last 15 pages are samples from another book. I enjoyed reading about Hart and Melody's touching romance and will read more from this author.** Sensuous language and passionate kissing, but nothing beyond.Did you find this review helpful?
