secrets, surprises and steam
oooooh this is good! Flora was one of the four governesses who tried to teach a lecherous lord a lesson and ended up getting ousted from London by means of a vicious rumor. With no chance of getting hired in England, the four of them took jobs in Scotland. Vivan and Grace ended up marrying the lords for whom they worked, and the duke for whom Sarah worked was clearly enamored of her, but the class difference between them was quite wide. Flora had a secret, and that secret, which was about to be revealed, was causing her great distress. Lennox, who inherited his grandfather’s title of the Earl of Hepburn, his properties and wealth, knew Flora before her flight from Scotland two years ago. She was none too pleased to find out he was the lord who hired her as his governess. Meanwhile, the four women had been receiving threatening letters. Vivian’s and Grace’s stopped once they married, and it appeared that whoever was sending them had now targeted Flora. Lennox was determined to protect Flora at all costs. Things between Flora and Lennox were intense, both emotionally and physically.
