Publisher Description
An exciting prequel to THE DUKE HEIST.
Meet the Wild Wynchesters: This fun-loving, caper-committing family of tight-knit siblings can’t help but find love and adventure!
Years ago, Chloe Wynchester and five other uniquely talented orphans were adopted by a wealthy baron with a secret mission: The motley Wynchester family fights for justice from the margins of high society. And the handsome, clever duke Chloe has long admired proves to be her worst enemy…
An unscrupulous boarding school is exploiting orphans in a secret workhouse. Baron Vanderbean plots a daring rescue. When illness befalls him, Chloe must take the reins. But how can a lifelong wallflower lead the charge to save the children?
”I want to be a Wynchester!”
— Eloisa James

Family is what you make it
This is the perfect prequel to The Duke Heist (which I read as an ARC before I read this). The Wynchester family and the strong connection they have for and with each other is easy to see in this story. They work, grieve and assist each other in their own unique ways.
The reader finds out some background knowledge about the incidents that form the basis of the next story. Chloe emerges as the ‘leader’ of the siblings. The family’s compassion for orphans and those in need, is what drives this novella.
This is a teaser to the next novel
The summary doesn’t say that there is no romance at all …it is just a lead in…arrggghhh
The Governess Gambit pays off.
A fun hook into the Wild Winchesters, an ingenious family.
