Lady Margueriet Saxby is being blackmailed. In need of money she accepts a job from Jack Vincent, Lord Compton to be temporary governess to his three daughters. He has a lot of rules and expects everyone to live with them but she finds them too restrictive and is pretty certain that her young charges are not happy with them either. Jack lost his wife to murder and he's desperate to ensure that no-one else dies tragically on his watch.
I'm actually reading book 3 in this series at the moment and would read more by this author, while the characters are fun to spend some time with. Lady Marguerite Saxby fills that space of a widow who doesn't miss her husband really, whose first marriage was full of abuse is going to take a while to trust anyone and it looks for a while that Jack would try to control her but thankfully this isn't what happens. It's a fun read with good characters whose second chance was well done.… (mehr)
