The Book
Wanted:
Governess able to keep all hours…
Rebellious Julian Fortescue never expected to inherit a dukedom, nor to find himself guardian to three young half-sisters. Now in the market for a governess, he lays eyes on Jane Grey and knows immediately she is qualified-to become his mistress. Yet the alluring woman appears impervious to him. Somehow Julian must find a way to make her succumb to temptation … without losing his heart and revealing the haunting mistakes of his past.
Desired: Duke skilled in the seductive art of conversation…
Lady Jeanne de Falleron didn’t seek a position as a governess simply to fall into bed with the Duke of Denford. Under the alias of Jane Grey, she must learn which of the duke’s relatives is responsible for the death of her family-and take her revenge. She certainly can’t afford the distraction of her darkly irresistible employer, or the smoldering desire he ignites within her.
But as Jane discovers more clues about the villain she seeks, she’s faced with a possibility more disturbing than her growing feelings for Julian: What will she do if the man she loves is also the man she’s sworn to kill?
Can be read as a stand-alone title.

London, 1802
Once she had been carefree, beloved of
the gods and the world, marked by nature and birth for happiness and good
fortune. Then everything was taken from her. Everything she possessed and
everyone she loved. Everything except her life. She didn’t know how she had
survived, but she knew why. She had a destiny to fulfill, and the key to
success lay within the solid brick walls of this house on the east side of
Hanover Square.
Despite the variety of cramped
apartments and near hovels she’d occupied in the last nine years, she still
summoned a measure of scorn for the unassuming residences of the British
nobility when compared to the glorious mansions of Paris. Imposing by London
standards, Fortescue House with its neat brick façade and stone architraves
couldn’t hold a candle to the Hôtel Falleron.
Fortescue House.
The very name chilled her. She
shivered in her gray cloak at the name and because London was cold and dirty
and inhabited by the race of Fortescues. She did not know the exact identity of
the Englishman she’d heard of only as Mr. Fortescue. To discover his full name
she had come to this house, home of the chief of all Fortescues, the Duke of
Denford.
