Winner Takes All: (1) The Game and the Governess
Lord Edward Granville, Earl of
Ashby, has never been short of luck. From his time on the battlefield to his
way with the ladies and at the card table, he’s more than earned his nickname
of ‘Lucky Ned’. When Ned is challenged to a wager with his best friend and
secretary, John Turner, he can’t say no. John doesn’t think that Ned can win
over a lady without the benefit of his title, and so the pair agree to switch
identities during a trip to visit one of Ned’s properties.
Governess Phoebe Baker wants
nothing more than to keep her employers happy whilst making sure that her
students are getting a good education. There’s no one she’d rather avoid than
the Earl of Ashby. Phoebe has a past with the Earl that she would rather keep
private and so when she discovers that he’ll be staying for a week with his
secretary, it’s her worst nightmare. Thankfully, she doesn’t see much of the
Earl, but his secretary is persistent in crossing her path … and making her
pulse flutter …
