A Governess for the Wounded Marquess: A Historical Regency Romance Book (Lords in Waiting 1)
on Amazon
“He has buried his heart behind duty.
She is the one woman determined not to need his.”
Miss Serena Collard has learned that a governess survives by keeping her distance. Families come and go. Affection fades. And promises rarely last. When she accepts a position at Greystone Hall, she vows this time will be different, she will teach, she will care, and she will leave untouched.
Nathaniel Stone, Marquess of Greystone, has spent two years hiding from the grief that shattered his world. Guardian to three children who remind him daily of what he has lost, he keeps his emotions locked behind cold composure and careful silence.
Until Serena arrives.
She challenges him without meaning to. Sees what he has tried to hide. And slowly, dangerously, brings warmth back into a house that has forgotten how to live.
But a governess can never belong to a marquess, and the deeper Serena becomes entwined in his family, the more impossible it is to guard her heart. When society’s expectations threaten to tear them apart, Nathaniel must choose between the safety of solitude… and risking everything for a love he never believed he deserved.
A sweeping, slow-burn clean Regency romance filled with longing glances, quiet passion, and the healing power of a found family, perfect for readers who love wounded noble heroes and courageous heroines.
If you enjoy Regency stories with complex characters and themes of redemption, “A Governess for the Wounded Marquess” is sure to enchant. This moving tale of healing, second chances, and a marriage of convenience offers a love story that lingers long after the final page.
No cheating. No cliffhangers. Just a deeply satisfying happily ever after.
