When A Duke Loves A Governess: Tessa James has worked tirelessly to open her own millinery shop. All she needs now is a loan from the lord who sired and abandoned her.

Guy Whitby, the Duke of Carlin, has returned to London after years abroad to discover that his young daughter, Sophy, has been scaring away her governesses.

There was never a dull moment... a jolly good passionate romance and a perfect read.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review ‘Fast paced with strong characters & a lovely mix of intrigue, mystery & romance. I loved both Guy & Tessa... their chemistry simmers then sizzles. The road to their HEA isn’t easy but it made for a book that I found very hard to put down. A very well written engrossing read.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review ‘After a really long week at work, there's nothing better than a weekend with a lovely book...
