The Governess and the Rogue

Mimi Matthews wraps up the Somerset Stories (for now) with The Governess and the Rogue. If you’re not familiar with the author, she’s a master of clean romance set in the Regency and Victorian eras. Her love stories are beautifully crafted with intriguingly flawed protectors and heroines who are strong and resourceful yet vulnerable.

The series began with Gentleman Jim and A Work of Art, and the last four imagine what the children from those two couples might be like. Every book in this series feels like a gift. Stepping into the pages is like visiting an old friend. This time, it’s Jack Beresford, youngest son of the earl. He’s been buffeted by war, seasoned by time. Circumstances have made him wary and aloof, yet he comes to the aid of Beatrice, a governess in an awful situation.

A fake engagement leads to entangled hearts and just the right amount of angst. Sweet and satisfying.

No spoilers, but you encounter another old friend I hadn’t anticipated. It was a delightful surprise. In The Governess and the Rogue, we get Jack’s HEA, but we also see the origin story of one of my favorite heroes.

It will be available August 5th – grab it here.
