Publisher Description
One bored governess, one handsome doctor, and unlimited unchaperoned nighttime activities. What could possibly go wrong?
Sophia Preston wants adventure, excitement, and self-determination. She hired herself out as a governess to gain independence, and now she has it at Robin Abbey: every day, she gets to mind the Cosgrove children, eat the Cosgrove’s food, and live by Cosgrove’s rules.
When John Anderson arrives as accoucheur ahead of Lady Widlake’s next baby, Sophia immediately sees the potential for excitement. Who wouldn’t want to seduce the handsome young doctor who is guaranteed to move on once Lady Widlake’s baby is born?
John doesn’t mind flirting with the intriguing governess - as long as they aren’t caught. He has goals, and they don’t include ruining his reputation. Still, he must admit that Miss Preston is everything he ever wanted in a woman: smart, beautiful, unlike anyone else he has ever met…
When counterfeit bank notes surface in town, the authorities suspect someone at Robin Abbey is the criminal. Suddenly, both Sophia and John are put under the microscope. They have no choice but to band together to find the true culprit. The only question is: will they find true love, too?
Customer Reviews
Good
This was a pretty good book. I enjoyed the characters and storyline. Sophia Preston’s family is known for its radical beliefs so when Sophia is accused of counterfeiting no one suspects otherwise believing it to be some political statement. With everyone willing to accept her as the guilty party Sophia realizes she must prove her own innocence. Luckily her employers, Baron and Baroness Widlake’s accoucheur John Anderson is on her side. Just when she believes they may finally be closing in on the real culprit, thanks to her sister and brother- in- law she is set free. Unfortunately for Mr. Anderson his troubles have just begun. This was an interesting, steamy, mystery, suspense and romantic story that was a joy to read and I look forward to reading more from this author. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
