Georgie Rowe has excelled ever since attending Miss Prentice’s School for Girls. The only problem is she has trouble holding her tongue and keeping her opinions to herself. When a desperate Captain Henry Kincaid is left with his two nieces and nephew he comes to Miss Prentice seeking a governess. Miss Prentice is more than happy to suggest Georgie for the job. At first Captain Kincaid is appalled by the disorderly Miss Rowe and doesn’t seem to think she’s up to the task. But he soon discovers that her ways seem to be working and having an impact with the children. He cannot imagine his life running without her. Slowly their feelings for each other come to light and Georgie and Henry must decide the kind of life they really want, together or otherwise.

This is a brilliant start to a new series by the talented Virginia Heath and I cannot wait for the next installment!
