Publisher's Summary

Society dictates that a governess should be modest, quiet, and keep to herself.

She should never contradict her employer.

And, above all, she must not attract the attention of any male in the household.

But Michael Severson doesn't see Isabel Halloran as a governess - he sees her as a woman, one whose lush curves cannot be hidden behind a dowdy gown...and whose efforts at hiding her sparkling intelligence are betrayed by her wit.

Years before, Michael had left Regency England, falsely accused of a crime. Now he is back, dedicated to seeking retribution - but not to taking a bride. But when his scandalous actions compromise Isabel's reputation, he does the unthinkable and offers her his hand - a marriage in name only.

But although his bride's passions are untried, Isabel's sensuality clearly matches his own. And with each day, and night, that passes, Michael becomes determined that every kiss, every caress, will be made with one goal: to seduce his proper wife into tender submission.

Contains mature themes.

enjoyable

This first installment of the Cameron sisters had murder betrayal and a little romance. it was an enjoyable experience although I think the story could have been beefed out a bit.. I doubt independent free thinkers would be so quick to capitulate, for me some of the scenarios didn't add up.
Anne flosnick did a excellent job of portraying the characters and not bastardizing the English language.

Enjoyable

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this story had more going on than the romance indicated in the blurb so i'll rate this one highly. The second son of an Earl returns to England from years abroad, determined to clear his name by unravelling the mystery of the true murderer of a crime he was falsely accused. He meets the lovely Isobel by chance and their story begins. The narrator (i listened at x1.05) did a good job conveying personalities and emotions. I'll be checking the next in the series.
