Sir Harry Marbeck has hired a woman as governess to his wards and he really should stay away from her, he's finding her entirely too attractive; Viola Yelverton is determined to find a good future for herself and it doesn't include marriage to Harry, no matter how attractive she finds him.

I would have liked more build up to the relationship and more show than tell about it but overall not a bad read. (
