This one wasn't a very involved tale.  The heroine is a lovely young woman who is blind.  She is asked to dance by a less than nice gentleman who merely wanted to have her make a spectacle of herself.  He intended to abandon her in the middle of the floor.  However the hero knows about the bounder and keeps an eye on the couple.  He steps in and rescues the girl.He finds her to be intelligent and charming, and he wants to see her again.  It takes a bit of plotting on his part as his reputation isn't top notch.  Though he is titled and wealthy he has a scandalous past.When his intentions toward the heroine become serious and he wants to marry her, her uncle won't allow him to propose.  Rumors are flying around society about him -- dredging up old stories, adding some new ones and stirring gossip about the heroine.The hero finds the person responsible for and issues a challenge.  But all ends well.The story wasn't really believable, and there wasn't a lot of depth to the couple.  The story was too short to get a deep feeling for the pair.  She was sweet and he was reformed.  The heroine had a cousin who watched over her, and the cousin was the more interesting of the two.I would recommend this one, but it isn't a keeper.
