His One and Only Lady

A courageous spinster…

Purity Mayfield knows her place in society. A governess with no prospects for marriage, she's built her life around hard work and quiet determination. But when she discovers a young girl being mistreated by her cruel caregiver, Purity doesn't hesitate to act—even if it means earning the ire of the girl's formidable, aristocratic, and intimidating father.

A brooding earl…

Theran Rutland, Earl of Westerby, is a man consumed by duty. Widowed and fiercely protective of his daughter, he has no time for romantic notions—or the fiery accusations of an outspoken governess. Yet, when Purity's claims uncover dark truths about his household, Theran does the unthinkable: he hires her.

A future threatened by secrets…

As Purity brings warmth and light into his daughter's life, she begins to break through Theran's carefully constructed walls. But just as passion starts to bloom, secrets from Purity's past surface, and a jealous rival plots to tear them apart. With betrayal and scandal threatening to destroy everything, Purity and Theran must decide—will they risk their hearts to fight for love, or let the past dictate their future?
