The Notorious Duke’s Governess

“No one had stayed for Mel Grace since she was sixteen years old, and the most scandalous duke in England was the last man on earth she expected to ask her to.”

Mel is a governess of twenty-six, practical, observant, with no family and no fortune and one quiet certainty no one knows she carries: that hoping for more than she has is the surest way to be disappointed. Her father walked out of her life when she was a girl, and she has not allowed herself to wait for anyone since.

So when Hartfell House in remote Cornwall offers her a generous salary to teach three wild little girls no one else can manage, she takes it expecting nothing. A roof. A wage. Three difficult children she can probably handle. The same arrangement she has had in four other houses.
