Is it Anns imagination, or is the terrifying Marquessflirting with her?

Miss Ann Truesdale must make a match this season, but how can she expect any man to view her as a wife when they all see her as their friends pitiful younger sister? Worse yet, all her life shes had trouble speaking to others—particularly handsome young men. Its only by pouring her thoughts into her diary that shes managed to overcome the issue. And now that diary is missing

Unbeknownst to Ann, that diary has landed in the hands of the man she fears the most—the formidable Marquess of Kalvin. A man who makes her tremble with a glare and renders her speechless when he towers over her.

But like it or not, the quiet wallflower has caught the eye of the most sought after lord in London

When the stern Earl finally notices his shy bride-to-be…

Lady Jane dreads her scheduled visits with the stodgy Earl. Like clockwork, her fiancé shows up in her drawing room, glowers at her until she quakes, and then takes his leave when a quarter hour has passed.

On one hand, Janes grateful he doesnt wish to spend more time with her. His company makes her miserable, and their engagement is a far cry from the romantic tales she loves to read. But his disregard for her has made Jane a laughingstock amongst her peers, and shes more than a little peeved to be marrying a man who cant be bothered to know her.
