Synopsis

After returning home from adventures in the Orient, James Lindford, Viscount Farley, causes quite a stir in London society. The viscount’s womanizing past has caught up with him, and he decides he must take his illegitimate children into his household to raise. Doing the right thing, unfortunately, costs him both his fiancée and his political aspirations. With the gossip hounds soon on the prowl, he escapes to the calm of his country estate. But between his rowdy children and the beautiful woman next door, James is not about to get any peace.

Phoebe Churchill’s quiet life of raising her niece and tending to her cottage is quickly upended upon the arrival of her new neighbor. When she discovers his daughter is stealing from her, James entreats her to be the children’s governess. It is a job Phoebe accepts with great caution. Though she yearns for the viscount’s kiss, she cannot ignore her mother’s warning—that all men are lustful creatures not to be trusted . . .

A tale as old as time. The man ho and the the doormat. A hero with three by blows who has supposedly learned his lesson but when he meets the dairymaid next door immediately decides to make her his governess/mistress. The heroine. The virtuous dairymaid who pretty much folds like a cheap umbrella whe......more

I enjoyed this story. A lot. It was different than other stories I've read recently. I rolled my eyes a couple of times (mostly because she's kind of pigheaded and he's kind of manipulative) but overall enjoyed it.......more

I ate this book up! Phoebe is such an adorable, loving character that the reader really can't help but love. Her background of being the caretaker for her abandoned niece, Helen, shows her compassionate, loving nature so well! Always being ignored in comparison with her sister, Louise, and criticized......more
