Rumors
Max Courtland and Vivian Wescott were engaged until Max let a vicious, and false, rumor convince him to break the betrothal. The effect on Vivian is devastating. After a bit of trouble in town and some meddling from Max’s sister, Vivian is now governess to his deceased cousin’s two children. It will be hard to live in the same house with animosity between them. Is there any possibility Joy’s matchmaking scheme will work? Vivian and Max belong together, and their story is a slow-burn second chance. Max’s nephew and niece are quite rambunctious. It was nice to see the way the three of them warmed up to each other. A lovely story with engaging characters who bring you into their story. This is the first story in the False Rumors series, and it appears Vivian’s friends and fellow governesses are waiting in the wings.
