About this listen

Baldwin, the Viscount of Mountgarret, was content with his life. Unexpectedly, his childhood friend dies, leaving him his most prized treasures: his two young daughters. Baldwin’s priorities begin to shift as he arrives home and meets his wards’ infuriatingly stubborn governess. His interest is piqued by the mystery surrounding her, but she’s only a governess. He certainly can’t pursue her. Can he?

After three “unsuccessful” Seasons, Emeline Warren discovers a heinous plot to force her into marriage with an aging earl. She flees from her ancestral home and unwittingly becomes a governess to two little girls. Finding herself attracted to their reluctant guardian, she’s determined not to fall prey to his charms. Can two unlikely lovers let go of their foolish pride, or will they lose what matters most?

As the second novel in this series by author Laura Beers, this story continues the Regency Brides: A Promise of Love series. This is a light-hearted series set in the Regency period.

The series includes:
Prequel Novella: The Heiress (Ladies of Miss Bell's Finishing School)
A Clever Alliance
A Noble Pursuit
The Earl's Daughter
A Foolish Game

Other series by Laura Beers include The Beckett Files, Sweet Regency Matchmakers and Regency Spies & Secrets.
