Lady Anne and the Gypsy Curse — Donna Lea Simpson

Lady Anne Addison, seeking a peaceful environment in which to sort out her feelings about her most ardent suitor, the Marquess of Darkefell, returns home to Kent where she finds anything but peace and quiet

When a gypsy fortune teller curses her father, and a series of illnesses are tied to the gypsies, Lady Anne must solve the mystery of the gypsy curse, and then make up her mind about Darkefell. Does she really love him? Rationality wages war with passion; love and desire with her fierce independence. Darkefell, more eloquent than ever, proposes for the third time. Desperate though he is to win her, his pride won't stand another rejection, and he vows that if she says no once again, it will be for the last time.
