The two characters had met before but separated for whatever reason. Later in the story (midway ish?) the man\u2019s older brother is thought to be dead and his face is now terribly scarred. He is now left with his brother\u2019s title and 2 daughters. He keeps to the dark, won\u2019t come out in the daylight or shave and neglects the girls as a result. She comes back and he tells her that she will have to marry him to stay and take care of the girls and she agrees because she loves him. He basically drags her to an old alter that\u2019s cracking and falling apart and then makes off with her for their wedding night. He likes the dark so she can\u2019t see him so he tries to keep it dark but she\u2019s terrified of the dark.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Eventually she tells him to get over himself that it\u2019s just a scar and he\u2019s being a big baby and not treating his nieces the way he should. He shaves and goes to see them in bed and one of the girls wakes up screaming (neither had seen his face with or without the beard since before the incident that caused him to be scarred). I think that\u2019s when she tells him off and leaves him to his own devices. He sacks up and starts rejoining the world he had cut himself off of, only for his brother to come back, turns out he was alive and well (ish) and eager to be home with his brother and children. This is the climax area, something makes them both rush off, I think she gets trapped somewhere dark and he and his brother have to find and help her and she\u2019s in such a state she doesn\u2019t even realize that her husband is clean shaven and in broad daylight.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">That\u2019s it that\u2019s all I remember, I\u2019ve been trying periodically for years to find the book title but I\u2019m at a loss. I think I read it between 2004-2011? But would have been from my library so it could be older by a decade or more, I come from a really small town in Michigan.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book is a historical romance.
