GOVERNESS

She's hiding one hell of a secret...

Governess Frances Rothbury is terrified and on the run after accidentally killing her employer, the rapacious Lord Ashworth. Fleeing certain death, she escapes to Scotland, taking a position as Governess to Laird Duncan Grant's children. Expecting an aging Laird, she's dismayed to find the Laird the most attractive man she's ever seen, and clever and observant, too. Desperate to keep a low profile, she's determined to keep anyone from discovering her terrible secret.

And she's hiding more than one...

Laird Duncan Grant is a widower regaining his beloved Scottish roots. Abiding by his father's decisions, years spent in English education institutions and even taking an English wife have only strengthened his resolve to stand firm against the English redcoats patrolling his lands. The last thing he wants is an English governess teaching his children. Especially a Governess who is not only beautiful and kind, but whose story just doesn't quite add up.

When the red-coat threat escalates and her secrets are revealed, nothing for Frances will ever be the same again...
