Great Conclusion to the Series
Vicious and false rumors sent Sara and her friends to Scotland to seek positions as governesses. Vivian, Grace, and Flora found more than a job. Each of them has found love and happiness. Sara has found a position with a widowed duke as governess to his daughter. Ian is attracted to Sara from the time she comes to work for him, and Mairi, sad and withdrawn since her mother’s death, blooms under her care. Unfortunately, the rumors and threats follow her to Scotland and back to London. Ian and Sara agree to marry. Secrets and misunderstandings cause them to believe it is truly a marriage of convenience, a means to protect her. Not true, but it may take a while and a trial or two for them to see the truth. This is the last story in an interesting series. It has trouble, mystery, danger and lots of fun and wonderful romance in each story. The mystery has wound through the series and comes to an end in this one. The answer to the who and why of the rumors and threats will surprise you.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
