A Bachelor’s Dream

“What on earth can I do about it?” Doctor George Brudenell asks the empty brougham as it rattles through a cold London evening. Then he turns toward a warm, tea-lit parlor, hoping the Leslies can advise him.

At forty-three, Brudenell is a shy, studious bachelor whose quiet home and ordered habits suit him perfectly—until his sister’s children arrive from India, and he must make room for three lively young guests. Mrs. Leslie’s brisk answer is simple: hire a governess. But the arrival of Alexia Boucheafen brings more than a solution to his domestic troubles; it unsettles a man who has kept his heart and his household carefully in order. Can the children—and their mysterious governess—change the life he thought he understood?
