وصف الناشر
He accepts her but doesn't love her... Donovan James Arthur Sinclair, 8th duke of Manchester, is cursed to roam the Earth as a wolf-shifter. He doesn't mind the beast most days, for the life of a duke is quite splendid, but it is trying if he's honest with himself. When he saves a country miss from an out-of-control carriage in a rural village, it occurs to him that he might be wrong.
She loves him but cannot accept what he truly is... Miss Alice Morrowe, is blind and firmly on the shelf, unloved and unwanted by nearly everyone she's ever met. While she's happy with her life, she wants acceptance for who she is. When she is thrown to the ground in a tangle of limbs by a very naked man amidst a thunder of hooves, she cannot help but wonder if her life is about to change.
A marriage of convenience that's anything but... In her, Donovan sees a way to break his curse if he can seduce her into love. In him, Alice finds solace and the thrill of romance. She's only too happy to wed him and grasp a life she's always wanted, but is her love what he needs to banish the beast within? Emotions run high when things don't turn out the way they've each planned. Only discovering truth and genuine love can bring clarity, hope… and happily ever after.

Donovan’s Curse
Donovan Sinclair and a group of his friends live with a curse brought about when a group of their ancestors created chaos in a gypsy camp. One old gypsy witch cursed the men and their male decedents to live as human and beast (of one kind or another). The curse can only be broken on a special night with a special kind of love. Donovan is the eighth Duke of Manchester. He is also a wolf shifter.
Alice Morrowe is almost totally blind. She lives in a village where she is treated as a charity case. She and Donovan meet, well sort of, when his wolf saves her from being run down by a carriage. There is an almost immediate attraction, and soon they are married. She loves him, but will she be able to break his curse? What will happen when she learns what he truly is? What will Donovan do if she runs? If she stays? The answers to these questions may surprise you. Interesting and a little unpredictable story. Likeable, curious characters. A good read.
