Description

In Vanessa Kelly's enchanting series, three young women descended from royalty overcome their scandalous beginnings to win the hearts of the ton's most eligible men . . . The illegitimate daughter of the Prince Regent might be expected to pursue various dubious professions. Actress, perhaps, or artist's model. Even courtesan. Victoria Knight, however, has become a governess-a respectable choice, until she travels to Scotland to meet her new charges. The younger brothers of Nicholas Kendrick, Earl of Arnprior, aren't children at all. They're brawny, wild Highland men. As for the Earl, he's handsome, guarded, and far too compelling . . . especially for a woman hiding a dark secret. Nick needs a proper teacher to transform his unmarriageable brothers-and a sensible, straight-laced wife for himself. Miss Knight seems to fit the bill on both counts. But he soon discovers there is more to Victoria than he thought. It's not just her notorious origins, or the danger that's followed her all the way to Scotland. It's the fiery loyalty beneath that sedate fa ade. This, the real Victoria, is the woman Nick is starting to desire so desperately. And what an earl wants, he'll use every seductive means to get . . . Praise for Vanessa Kelly's Renegade Royals series "Will definitely resonate with fans of Mary Jo Putney and Joanne Bourne." -Booklist "Kelly combines diverting dialogue, delightful surprises and finely tuned pacing to make this a winner." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
