Determined not to marry, Lady Amelia runs away from home. Disguising herself as bespectacled Abigail Sparrow, she accepts a position as governess. Her employer, Valentine North, had always sworn he would remain unattached--despite the fact that he'd been given charge of two wards. But soon, Val is not only in danger of tarnishing his reputation as a freewheeling bachelor, but also of losing his heart to Amelia.
This delightful novel marks another triumph for Monique Ellis. The characters are likeable and fun as are the adventures in the book. This book had two slight drawbacks: (1) too much of the book was spent on the adventurous parts compared to the developing romance, which made the latter improbable; (2) the long-suffering patience of the heroine was stretched too much (I wanted to do violence to several of the villians and couldn't believe the heroine's foreberance). However, on the whole, this book is a keeper.
