Can she teach a duke how to love...?

Guy Whitby, the Duke of Carlin, has returned to London after years abroad to discover that his young daughter, Sophy, has been scaring away her governesses. So when bold and beautiful Tessa applies for the job, he hires her despite his misgivings that she might be fibbing about her qualifications.

But Guy’s murky past is coming back to haunt him, and when an old enemy threatens his family, he and Tessa are thrown into the path of danger.

A stunning Regency romance for fans of Tessa Dare and Mary Jo Putney.
