Lord Christopher Westing, heir to a dukedom, with his strong jaw and blue eyes, is a veritable god to the women who pursue him. What's more, his future holds a prominent place in Parliament. And life grows even grander when he realizes the only woman for him has been right there all along. The esteemed but reticent Lady Jane Chatley has admired the marquess for years, although he's never shown her a twinge of romantic interest. Then one extraordinary night, everything changes. A kiss like nothing she or he has ever imagined makes her irrevocably his. When an unimaginable accident causes Christopher to plunge into a terrifying world of darkness, both his sunny disposition and his will to live disappear as swiftly as the light in his eyes. With the marquess pushing everyone away, can the ever-capable Jane keep him from slipping into bleak hopelessness? And with her own problems growing more dire, can she make him believe in what he can no longer see before it is too late for both of them?
