A high-born lady of scandalous origins meets a Highlander with seductive designs in this “thoroughly satisfying Regency romance” (Publishers Weekly).
The illegitimate daughter of the Prince Regent might be expected to pursue various dubious professions—actress, artist’s model, or even courtesan. Victoria Knight, however, has become a governess. It’s a respectable choice, until she travels to Scotland to meet her new charges. The younger brothers of Nicholas Kendrick, Earl of Arnprior, aren’t children at all. They’re brawny, wild Highland men. As for the Earl, he’s handsome, guarded, and far too compelling . . . especially for a woman with a dark secret.
Nick’s unmarriageable brothers require civilizing instruction, while Nick needs a

It’s not just her notorious origins, or the danger that’s followed her all the way to Scotland. It’s the fiery loyalty beneath that sedate façade. The real Victoria, is the woman Nick is starting to desire desperately. And what an earl wants, he’ll use every seductive means to get . . .
