In this delicious addition to the Distinguished Academy of Governesses series, Lady Caroline Ritter, desperate for employment, comes to the academy for help. The problem: Her only achievement is that she's an accomplished flirt. But fortune shines on Caroline when she's sent to teach Jude Durant what a woman wants.
After years of working secretly for the government, Jude returns home from France mourning his brother's death. Though he appears foppish, he's working undercover to expose a plot to assassinate Queen Victoria. He has no need to be tutored in the art of love, but to keep up his charade, he accepts the lessons.
Caroline is not what Jude expects. She's beautiful, but she's also smart and the ideal pawn for his mission. Neither one counts on falling in love.

Amusing at times, well written; however, I did not like the way she subjugated man to woman.

Please, absolutely no devastatingly attractive men with hidden agendas, such as secret missions or vengeful plots against evil villains— specifically not Jude Durant, the earl of Huntington, the most handsome, the most covert, the most dangerous of all the aristocrats in Regency London.
