A DREAM COME TRUE, BUT... Marie has never been known as a beauty. She's tall as a man, has unruly red hair, and only ever wears rags. She could never hope to find true love in such a state. But when she's sent to Cyrus Granado's estate to replace her late sister, his former fiancée, Marie finds herself warmly welcomed into the count's home--and the gentle count even asks her to become his new fiancée! Finally, her days of being treated like a lowly servant are over and the future looks bright. But when a disturbing letter from home arrives, Marie learns that there just might be a secret reason for the horrible treatment she endured growing up, and before she can embrace this new life, she must face the one she left behind.
