Publisher's Synopsis
Just when he'd fobbed off the last brat, another appeared to take her place. Poor Lord Anselm! The dashing bachelor was plagued with dying relatives leaving their female children to his care. He had seen so many go from the schoolroom to the marriage mart that he had sworn off women altogether. The current ward was far and away the worst. Cheeky Yvonne de la Falaise had surely sent her papa to an early grave with her melodramatics and mischief. Thank goodness for her governess, Patricia Cottingham, so calm, so competent. But all was not as it seemed, which Anselm learned - very nearly too late.
