The Governess (Wicked Wallflowers #3)

by
Christi Caldwell

…This story took a little in the beginning to build up steam, but when it did, the train was off the tracks! By the end I could not put the book down…

Broderick is a self-made man, who has worked with way to the top of man in the Seven Dials. He has has hurt many people on his rise to the top, but he is ever loyal to those he calls family. He now is fighting for his life due to a mistake in his past an only a strong tie to the gentry might fix. Against the wishes of his long-time assistant, Regina, Reggie to all at the gaming hell, Broderick sets about sending his last sister, Gertrude to Mayfair for a season and a titles-lord to save his neck.

Reggie has been against the nobility since the time before she met Broderick. Ten years earlier she was a broken woman, but with the support and strength Broderick shows her she has, she now has a plan for the future. Her plans don’t include Broderick or any man, she will be her own saviour from now on.

In this great time of transition and angst, Reggie and Broderick fight their feelings for each other, for how can they have the futures they want and be together? They can be the best of friends and the worst of enemies… but can they be each others saviours?

The Governess by Christi Caldwell is due to release February 12, 2019.
