“Prolific author G.G. Vandagriff creates a world full of intrigue, suspense, and romance that fans of the Regency Period will adore. Vandagriff writes in a style reminiscent of Georgette Heyer.”–Deseret News.
When Lord John returns from the Battle of Waterloo nursing a serious wound and a case of melancholia, he is hopeful of beginning a happier phase in his life. Living with a wife and … and family,in his native Lincolnshire would soothe his soul. His sights are set on the lovely Miss Lindsay, his country neighbor’s daughter. But to his mystification, he keeps getting distracted by her family’s governess—a little dab of a thing who is not at all what she seems. What is her secret?
His determination to solve the mystery of Miss Haverley begins to seriously undermine his interest in Miss Lindsay, who is confident he is about to offer for her. In the face of this, how can he pursue his interest in the family governess? Not only must he solve this dilemma, but he must discover what the petite woman is hiding.
When Miss Haverley begs him to resist satisfying his curiosity because such a course could bring her harm, his dilemma doubles. His enchantment turns to worry. He is more determined than ever to rescue her from whatever demons she is trying to escape, for Miss Haverley alone seems to have the power to stir him to passion and hope for a new life.

Loved it!
Very entertaining. Loved it!!
it was ok.
Lady hiding as a governess is not original but the way this was so well written made the unexpected aspects very enjoyable. Characters were also well written and engaging. I would recommend.
Nice story of a woman hiding to protect herself. The description of the story is confusing, and a little misleading. The soldier returns beaten to find a beautiful mysterious governess that has more lady quanitites than servant and she of course wins his heart by being a simple lady. He is her knight in shining armor and she is his savior from war. Romance and a page turner with twists and fun.
This was a nice quick read. I enjoyed that there wasn’t a lot of unnecessary sex to interfere with the story.
Love this author
A fun read because you try to figure out how they are going to get together.
The most unpredictable aspect was how the H could keep everyone happy even in the most dire of situations. Definitely HEA for everyone.
All around fun read even though the ending was a bit hurried and therefore less than satisfying. I would have liked a slower finish.
