She will not give up…

Three months ago, governess Serena Barton was let go from her position. Unable to find new work, she’s demanding compensation from the man who got her sacked: a petty, selfish, swinish duke. But it’s not the duke she fears. It’s his merciless man of business—the man known as the Wolf of Clermont. The formidable former pugilist has a black reputation for handling all the duke’s dirty business, and when the duke turns her case over to him, she doesn’t stand a chance. But she can’t stop trying—not with her entire future at stake.

He cannot give in…

Hugo Marshall is a man of ruthless ambition—a characteristic that has served him well, elevating the coal miner’s son to the right hand man of a duke. When his employer orders him to get rid of the pestering governess by fair means or foul, it’s just another day at the office. Unfortunately, fair means don’t work on Serena, and as he comes to know her, he discovers that he can’t bear to use foul ones. But everything he has worked for depends upon seeing her gone. He’ll have to choose between the life that he needs, and the woman he is coming to love…

Praise for The Governess Affair

First, I will have to write this book. Someone might then read it. Then they might choose to like it! So far, none of these things have happened yet.

code name

All of my books get code names as I write them. The hero of this book is called (by some) the Wolf of Clermont. The heroine, of course, has a lovely, sunny disposition, but let’s just say you don’t want to cross her. Or leave her hungry.

Which is probably why I called this book “Wolf Meets Bear.”
