The Governess Game

Description

In 1817, Alexandra Mountbatten’s carefully laid plans collapse when her livelihood disappears, forcing her to accept a governess position she never wanted—tending the two wards of the devilishly charming Charles Reynauds. Tasked with turning unruly orphans into proper young ladies, she soon finds that manners are only the beginning of what’s at stake, especially when attraction and pride collide in the most inconvenient ways. As Alexandra navigates household politics, guarded hearts, and the sharp edges of class and reputation, she must decide how far she’ll go to secure her future—and what kind of love she’s willing to risk. With Tessa Dare’s signature wit, romantic tension, and spirited historical detail, this is a playful, heartfelt journey through transformation, second chances, and the power of choosing oneself.
