Publisher's Synopsis
Even at an all-girls school in Regency England, workplace romances can prove challenging.
Regina Carlisle has found her forever home at The School of Enlightenment as the stablemistress. She can run the stables, wear men's trousers, and love who she wants. Despite being surrounded by lovely women, only one woman tempts her-her employer, the headmistress. Too bad about the no-fraternization rule.
The School of Enlightenment is Helen Montague's passion. As a widow, she focused her time building the school from nothing, but now it is established, she is lonely. When the stablemistress is injured in a fall, Helen steps in to help take care of her, discovering a new desire. Although she's in charge of enforcing the rules, Helen is now tempted to break them.
As the stocky second son of an earl, Robert was bullied as a child and hates being in the public eye. Beth's behavior is far too outrageous for his tastes. If only she didn't have the curvy figure he most admires, perfect for testing his leather pieces.
But Beth refuses to be tamed, so if she can't convince him to care less about society's disapproval, they could be forced to walk away from the perfect partnership for leather and love.
