Her Reluctant Governess

Miss Lydia Farr knows what a scandal can do: it already closed her school. Now she takes a governess post at a house where nothing is quite well. The children are wary, the housekeeper watches, and the master of Wrenley Hall will not cross the nursery threshold. Mr. Nathaniel Wrenley buried his wife and kept her name out of the house, and he has no wish to be rescued. But Lydia does not rescue; she teaches. She teaches two girls to read Latin, and their father to say a name he has not spoken in three years. When the old scandal resurfaces and a good, stable man offers her a sensible marriage, she must decide whether the life she has built is worth the risk of the love she has found. A warm, low-spice Regency about family, patience, and a marriage that starts as a scandal and ends as a home.
