Deadlier Than the Male

London 1910

Harry Wetherby is a problem. Expelled from the top schools in England: wild, violent, uncontrollable. His socialite mother engages Genevieve Archer, a young governess with a reputation for discipline: she specialises in ‘difficult cases’ but Harry is fast discovering manhood...

Genevieve will educate the young man at the family’s country house, away from the temptations of London, and she won’t spare the rod but an attractive and determined young lady has other weapons...

Darkly erotic attractions lurk, but should they fall for each other Harry’s fabulously wealthy mother will almost certainly break them apart. Then there is the approaching war. A conflict unlike any the world has ever seen. A war which will leave millions crippled or dead in the trenches of Flanders and the Somme...

A story of forbidden fruit, dominance, love, heartache and war. Filled with vivid characters, poverty, wealth, arson, embezzlement, murder, and the long slow pain of parting...
