A very nicely done Victorian romp. He's being blackmailed, and must appear to be a reformed family man. The governess he hires to watch over his adopted orphan must be elderly and unattractive. But underneath the makeup....

I enjoyed this one more than the first in the series--and that was a good read as well.

Devon Mathewes, earl of Kerrich has a plan that is ure to restore him to the Queen's favor. First, he must hire a sensible unattractive governess and see to adopting a properly grateful orphan, which will surely lend him a patina of respectability. Devon didn't expect the likes of Miss Pamela Lockhart. A woman whose background must never be revealed.
