Lindley- GauthierPlease NOTE: This is a re-launch of titles published years ago. The stories have been revised and tightened.

Handsome viscount Kit Stanhope regrets his rude remarks and apologizes to Belle. He’s surprised when she tells him that's not enough. If he truly regrets his behavior, he has to make her beautiful in time for the Founders’ Day Ball. Kit isn’t sure he’s up to the task.
