Pages : 284
Book Description
Alone in a gentleman's bedchamber, rummaging through his clothing--governess Leah Vance risks social ruin. Only by selling political information can she pay for her sister's care. And the letter she found in Julian DeChambelle's coat could be valuable--if the ex-sea captain himself had not just walked in. As a navy officer, Julian knew his purpose. As a new earl, he's plagued by trivialities and marriage-obsessed females. Miss Vance's independence is intriguing--and useful. In return for relaying false information, he will pay her handsomely. But trusting her, even caring for her? That would be pure folly. Yet when he sees the danger that surrounds her, it may be too late to stop himself....

Pages : 326
Book Description
Captain Fred Wheatly's comfortable life on the fringes of Bengal comes crashing down around him when his mistress dies, leaving him with two children he never expected to have to raise. When he chooses justice over army regulations, he's forced to resign his position, leaving him with no way to support his unexpected family. He's already had enough failures in his life. The last thing he needs is an attractive, interfering woman bedeviling his steps, reminding him of his duties. All widowed Clare Armbruster needs is her brother's signature on a legal document to be free of her past. After a failed marriage, and still mourning the loss of a child, she's had it up to her ears with the great lout of a captain who can't figure out what to do with his daughters and the assumptions she doesn't know how to take care of herself and what she needs is a husband. If only the frightened little girls didn't need her help so badly. Clare has made mistakes in the past. Can she trust Fred now? Can she trust herself? Captain Wheatly doesn't need his aristocratic family; they've certainly never needed him. But with no more military career and two half-caste daughters to support, Fred must turn once more--as a failure--to the family he failed so often in the past. Can two hearts rise above past failures to forge a future together?
