Evelina Hartley has no title, no fortune, and no choice but to secure work for the sake of her frail little sister. Becoming governess to the Duke of Ravenswood’s fearsome daughter seems impossible at first, especially when the cold Duke mistakes her spirit for impropriety. What is this man’s history, and why does her heart beat stronger in his presence?
Charles Spencer, Duke of Ravenswood, has buried his grief beneath silence, pride, and the rules of his rank. His daughter needs tenderness he does not know how to give, and Evelina’s unconventional ways unsettle him as much as they transform his home. When the fierce governess reaches the heart of his child, Charles begins to fear she may be reaching his own as well…
Evelina knows that she could never truly belong to Charles’ world, and that Ravenswood Manor is no safe refuge for a growing love. A sinister character is rifling through Evelina’s belongings when she is out of the room, an invasive housekeeper seems possessive of the Duke’s affection, and Evelina’s lost love resurfaces mysteriously in pursuit of her affections. Can a forbidden love survive the darkness inside the house?
