“Patricia Rice weaves magical love stories” - Mary Jo Putney, NY Times Bestselling Author
Discover the third book in NY Times bestseller Patricia Rice's Unexpected Magic historical romance series!
Scorned by suitors for her statuesque size, Harriet Stansbury bolts when opportunity offers a position in a mad marquess’s eccentric household.
Once a dashing rakehell, Duncan Ives, Marquess of Ashford, lost his eyesight in a murderous assault. Abandoned by his fiancée, unable to ride the vast fields of his estate, he vents his frustration on political reform. On impulse, he hires the intriguing, smoky-voiced Harriet even though he knows she’s lying—like him—with almost every word she speaks.
At first Harriet is a godsend, oddly anticipating what he needs and abating his worst rages. But when her stepfather accuses Duncan of ruining her, the scandal threatens everything he’s salvaged from the wreckage of his life. Avoiding scandal for the sake of his country, Duncan agrees to marriage. With her secret gift of empathy, Harriet isn't so certain. She's falling in love with the impossible marquess, but dare she risk her wounded heart for a man who can’t love her? And can Duncan learn to trust a woman whose tempting curves paralyze his good sense, but who is far more than she seems?

5By Janette WVery entertaining, a pleasant surprise! Enjoyed it thoroughly.Theory of Magic
5By Woodland3This was a really great read, I just couldn’t put it down! I don’t typically read historical romance novels, but this one intrigued me, with a blind main character. I loved that the main female character was not a beautiful, petite young woman, but instead one described as an Amazon. Highly enjoyable.Wonderful story!

5By Rae_87This was hilarious with heat, not stiff like some historical are.Seeing Blind
4By claudiator2A juicy plot line involving what you can and cannot see. The tension of the love story ran a little flat 2/3s through but still a good book overall.Theory 0f Magic
5By Webbles9Good read, easy to follow, enjoyed the funny situations. Nice to see that even back then there was a form of feminism, yet women used it in such a way that men didn't feel like they were being pushed aside. But women were able to make their feelings and opinions known. Just in a gentler different way, without demeaning them selves.
