Jack Skeffington is the widowed father of twins. He is meeting with the captain of his ship to find a new smuggling route when his twins disrupt the meeting. The captain tells Jack he needs a wife. Jack won't love and lose again, but he knows he needs a governess for his wild children.
Desiree le Duc is the sister of Cressmouth's blacksmiths. Beau, Lucien, and Desiree are working hard to pay off the lease on their property so they can return to France. Lucien says they need another year to earn the money. When their friend Jack offers Desiree an outrageous amount of money to be a temporary governess, she jumps at the chance.
When Jack helps her brothers pay off their debt faster, he realizes that he loves Desiree. She is torn between helping her brothers or having her own HEA.
I loved this book! It was so well written. I enjoyed the introduction to the le Duc family.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by the author and NetGalley. Thank you!
