Love Notes for a Duke by Lillianna Downing

One of the top agents for the Crown, Dane Alexander Fitzhugh, sixth Duke of Westbrook is more comfortable undertaking dangerous assignments of espionage than he is in a ballroom of the haute ton. When the two mix and Dane’s life is saved from a French assassin by the least likely person, a plain, unattractive and blind spinster Dane is compelled by his sense of duty to offer his protection. What he never counted on was the plain somewhat troublesome woman turning into a beauty that was much more than just an assignment for the British home office.

As a child, Charity Eva Price had a promising life as a musical prodigy with the chance to go to Paris to study under the masters when her life took a drastic change. Her parents dying in a carriage accident, she was sent to live with her uncle’s family when after a brutal attack she suffered the total loss of her vision. Separated from the only person that cared for her, her cousin, Charity spent years struggling under horrendous conditions just to survive. Once reunited her life was becoming bearable again when she inadvertently prevents the assassination of a spy for the British crown. Now as the only witness she is forced to flee London with the very man she saved.

Can the spy and the spinster survive further attempts on their lives, broken promises and betrayals to find a way for their love to flourish?
