At an early age Torie Beauclaire learned life is not fair. After the death of her parents she is taken into her Aunt’s household where she sticks out like a sore thumb. A misunderstanding finds her caste off and having to earn her own living. As a governess she finds comfort in educating others children until a post within the Lairdscroft household takes her out into the remote moors. Here she tries to tame the wayward children of his lordship, Rhionne Lairdscroft. Bodie and Justin haven’t received much in the way of discipline and Torie efforts are met with resistance. But her true test is with their father, a man who brooks no nonsense and finds Torie’s problems trifling. That is until Torie ensnares a neighboring Duke’s heart and wreaks havoc with a gardener. Soon nothing about Torie is trifling and his lordship finds he must take a second look at the boys’ insipid governess. Indeed, he must take another look and try to regain control of his household and his heart.
