A marquess who has recently become a duke. An impoverished lady who serves as a governess. An unlikely duo which becomes friends—and more . . .
Valentinian Worthington, a carefree charmer, finds himself the Duke of Millbrooke after his father’s sudden death. The lighthearted bachelor must quickly assume his responsibilities as head of the family, caring for his widowed mother and two younger sisters.
Miss Eden Snow lost her father in a riding accident, and her mother’s death followed shortly thereafter. The new Viscount Brownley orders her off his estate, and she becomes a governess, dismissed from her first post because she refuses to become intimate with her employer. Now, she is happy employed, spending the past five years educating Lady Traywick’s daughters, Verina and Justina.
