Summary

When strong-willed Lady Jane Stanhope finds herself facing a marriage ordered by her father, she flees home, disguises herself as "Plain Jane" and lands a governess position to the ward of the reclusive Marquess of Saybrook.

Winning the love of the shy little boy is easy. And sparking arguments with the mysterious Lord Saybrook stirs her passions more than she cares to admit. But as she becomes more a part of the household and its secrets, she finds her heart is in danger.

Now she's caught between her desire and her deception, for the most a titled lord can offer to a mere governess is ruin . . .
