Rules of Respectability
Devon Mathewes, earl of Kerrich, has a plan that is sure to
restore him to the Queen's favor.First, he must hire a
sensible, unattractive governess. Next, he will see to
adopting a properly grateful orphan, which will surely lend
him a patina of respectability. Finally, he must obtain a
guarantee that his orphan and the governess will better his
character and reputation without unduly disturbing his life—
love life or otherwise.
Rules of Passion
As a condition of accepting the governess position, Miss
Pamela Lockhart of the Distinguished Academy of Governesses
has a few rules of her own. Devon at all times must behave
with propriety, an unlikely accomplishment that would
delight the ton and completely astonish Pamela herself. She
must be allowed to choose a suitable orphan at her own
discretion. Most important, Devon must vow to neverever
delve into Pamela's background, or her appearance, lest he
discover the truth behind the deepest secrets of her heart.
But of course, all rules are made to be broken...
