Who is this man?The Duke of Thanet may have hired Meriel Shelby as a governess to his six-year-old son, but there is something...different about the man standing before her today.

But the duke has a notoriously scandalous reputation, and Meriel will not let herself succumb.Masquerading as the duke was not the simple solution Richard O'Neill had envisioned. When his ailing half-brother, the real duke, asked him to protect his young heir from a greedy enemy, Richard agreed.
