SIMPSON, DONNA — Lord St. Claire's Angel

New York, Zebra Books. 1999, 1st Pbk Edition. (ISBN: 0821764497) Pbk. Book, (Zebra Regency Romance) Celestine Simons was past the age where a woman could hope to marry. Still, she counted herself blessed, for she held a good position as governess in the household of the Marquess of Ladymead. But when the Marquess's brother, the handsome Lord Justin St. Claire arrived for the Christmas season, Celestine's lonely heart caught fire. He was so sweet and understanding. Yet, a marriage proposal from a pleasure-seeking aristocrat had to be merely a cruel joke if not pity for a poor spinster. Love was a game for the devil-may-care Lord Justin St. Claire -- until he met Miss Celestine Simons. Justin never thought he could be felled by cheerful good sense and intelligent conversation. He'd set out to give the plain, timid miss an innocent thrill under the kissing bough -- becoming smitten with the gray-eyed beauty was the least of his intentions. But the more he denied his aching heart, the more he yearned to make Celestine his!. Very Good.
