The Governess (Ladies of Miss Bell's Finishing School Book 1)

On the point of leaving Miss Bell’s School for Young Ladies, Adelaide Elliot ought to be delighted, but she is unlikely to see her good friends Caroline, Jo and Penelope ever again. Orphaned, and with her brother away serving King and Country, she has no money and no prospects, except to enter into service. The only post she is offered is as a governess at a country estate far away in Yorkshire, which feels like the ends of the earth.

Major Robert Fielding, known to Society as the Bachelor Beau, revels in his single state…until he becomes the improbable guardian of a compatriot’s two young sons. Not knowing what to do with two small boys, he decides to hire a youthful governess for them, assuming they will love females as much as he does. What can possibly go wrong?
