A Governess He Never Expected: A Historical Regency Romance Book (Era of Scandals 2)

“She is hiding from a dangerous past.
He is responsible for everything under his roof.
Trust could cost them both everything.”

Miss Harriet Sinclair has learned that knowledge can be perilous.

Once the cherished daughter of a respected antiquarian, Harriet now lives under an assumed name, her sharp mind concealed behind the modest position of a governess. After a violent event shatters her former life, anonymity becomes her only refuge. When desperation leads her to accept a post at Carendale Manor, she expects safety, and silence.

Instead, she finds two brilliant, unruly girls starved for guidance, and their guardian: Edward Cavendish, the Duke of Carendale.

Edward is fighting a losing battle. As guardian to his twin sisters, he has driven away every governess who dared attempt order. Society watches closely, scandal looms, and failure is unthinkable. When a chance encounter brings a reserved young woman with an exceptional mind into his household, Edward senses she is far more than she appears.

As Harriet brings structure and curiosity to Carendale Manor, Edward finds himself drawn to her intelligence and quiet strength. But her guarded silences and startled reactions raise questions neither can afford to answer.

When dangers from the past threaten the fragile trust growing between them, Harriet and Edward must decide how much they are willing to risk. Some truths destroy. Others demand courage, and faith in one another.

A clean Regency romance of hidden dangers, intellectual connection, and a slow-burn love built on trust.
No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you smiling long after the final page.
