Book Description

In this fairy tale Regency romance by USA Today bestselling and HOLT Medallion winning author BREE WOLF, a timid governess and a determined spy join forces and find much more than they expected. A spy on a mission. A governess with a secret. And a slipper lost at a ball. MISS EMMA GLASS is afraid of her own shadow. She wasn’t always, but life taught her a terrible lesson. One she cannot forget, no matter how hard she tries. Afraid to stumble upon said past, Emma keeps her head down, tending to her duties as a governess most diligently. She begins to feel safe again and stops looking over her shoulder, telling herself that he will never find her. Yet she knows to be wary of men, of noblemen in particular, at least until her employer’s oldest friend returns to London. From the moment she sees him, Emma knows she is in trouble. Or more accurately, her heart. HUGH LAWRENCE, DUKE OF ASHHAVEN, has spent his life serving the Crown. No woman has ever caught his eye until he returns to England after long years on foreign soil. All of a sudden, his mind strays from his current investigation and starts to linger on a timid young woman with almost fearful blue eyes. Ash knows he ought not look at her. She is a governess while he is a duke. Nothing can ever become of them; and yet all his good intentions are out the window the moment Miss Glass is approached by the very man he is investigating…for murder. Determined to keep her safe, Ash breaks the one rule he shouldn’t: he loses his heart to her. If only she weren’t a governess! After all, a duke cannot marry a governess, can he?
