No one is more surprised than Lord North when he returns from war to find his ex-fiancee in his ancestral home...working as a governessย in a sexy, fiery newย Wildes of Lindow Castleย romance byย New York Timesย bestselling author Eloisa James...
The handsome, rakish heir to a dukedom, Lord Roland Northbridge Wildeโknown to his friends as Northโleft England two years ago, after being jilted by Miss Diana Belgrave. He returns from war to find that heโs notorious: polite society has ruled him โtoo wild to wed.โ
Diana never meant to tarnish Northโs reputation, or his heart, but in her rush to save a helpless child, there was no time to consider the consequences of working as a governess in Lindow Castle. Now everyone has drawn the worst conclusions about the childโs father, and Diana is left with bittersweet regret.
When North makes it clear that he still wants her for his own, scandal or no, Diana has to fight to keep from losing her heart to the man whom she still has no intention of marrying.
Yet North is returning a hardened warriorโand this is one battle heโs determined to win.
He wants Diana, and heโll risk everything to call her his own.
