A Prophecy Foretold Isabel Albryght is hating her first season. If she hadn't lost that wager with her brother Weston over a game of chess, she would be home now with her beloved books. Eternally clumsy, and with no flowery words or feminine wiles at her disposal, there seems little chance that what Weston wants—her hand to be asked for in marriage—will happen. Tristram, Lord Trevena, endures each season's whirl of balls and parties weighed down by the blight that has cursed his family. He can never allow himself to marry. But when his old friend, Weston, asks for a favor—dance with his awkward sister a few times—he has to agree, although he determines he will only do so twice as he will not let himself get any closer. Suddenly, Isabel finds herself being swept off her feet by the handsome Lord Trevena. Waltzing in Tristram's arms is heavenly, and when they almost share a kiss, her world tilts on its axis. Where once she was a wallflower, now she is an eager debutante hoping this new romance will blossom further. But is calamity about to strike again? *Reissued in a new series with a beautiful new cover!
