The Governess and the Duke

De: Elena Rosewood

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Once the cherished daughter of a respected and affluent family, Emma Haverleigh is left penniless and grieving after her father’s sudden downfall and death. Armed only with her sharp mind, thorough education, and biting wit, she is forced to seek employment as a governess—an unthinkable descent for a woman raised to attend salons, not serve in them.

Her post takes her to the stately home of the Duke of Westmoreland, a brooding widower whose young daughter is as unruly as she is clever. Though Emma intends only to survive her new station with dignity, her quick tongue and fearless intellect soon capture the attention of the duke himself. Their exchanges crackle with tension, each encounter a battle of wills, and something far more dangerous.

As forbidden feelings take root, Emma must choose between the safety of restraint and the peril of a love that defies every rule of class and convention.

Dull

A bit dull. The hero and heroine deserved each other. They were both boring. The hero had no personality.
