Lady Eleanor believes she will never escape from the misery of her life as an unpaid governess to her beloved nieces and nephews. On the advice of his mistress, Alexander, Lord Bentley, is seeking a suitable wife to take care of his children and remain in the country, leaving him to live as he pleases.

Mistakenly believing he has compromised Eleanor, he makes her an offer and she, puzzled but delighted, accepts. When she discovers the real reason for his offer, Eleanor is horrified. If she tells him she wasn't compromised, he will surely send her away. Her brother, Edward, is determined to separate them—he cannot live without his sister's inheritance.

Can Alex foil Edward's evil plans and save the woman he has come to love? Or will her secret ruin their relationship when it is revealed?

Reviewer review

"Story of a titled young woman, Eleanor, treated horribly by her brother who turned her into a governess for his children. He was very abusive and used her inheritance. At a gathering, she met our hero, Alex, who was heartbroken over the loss of his wife and mother of his children several years earlier. Thru various circumstances they ended up marrying....he because he wanted a mother for his children.....she to escape from her horrible existence. Story details their life together and how they fell in love despite the evil doings of her brother."

This was a good read. Loved the main characters and wish there was more to the story to give more depth to them, would have loved for the story to be longer,  The story was easy to read and moved along nicely. A typical fairy tale with intrigue, danger, romance and, of course, a happy ending. Just enough romance with tame sex scenes that were wll written.  I would definitely recommend this book to others.
