The Gambler Wagers Her Baron by Christina McKnight

4.0

Many authors have told the tale of a lord who falls in love with his children's governess but Christina McKnight uses a little girl to move this story forward. The Baron in this case hasn't been able to get over the death of his wife four years earlier. He has distanced himself from his young children but when the new governess, Payton, manages to win over the children, Damon sees what he has been missing.
In addition to being a governess, Payton also gambles on the side in an effort to collect enough money to support herself. She is strong, independent and smart. The children are bright and funny (although they can be troublemakers at times).
In a story where death has cause so much hurt and pain, the characters are able to move beyond the pain to heal each other.
I received a free advanced copy of this book.
