Katharina Aston, eldest daughter of Sir Aston, is at odds with life. Four-and-twenty, every year she grows wearier of the season and of her lackluster prospects. Fatigued at the idea of facing another few months seeking a husband and needing to put her mind and spirit at use, she turns to her aunt for help. In no time Lady Kettering has set up Katharina as governess for the Earl of Chichester's wards.

Harriet and Sophia are young, hesitant to grow close to the new governess, and coping with many changes and losses.

And James, the Earl of Chichester, is cold, standoffish, and not particularly pleased with Katharina. Until she starts warming his heart -- and his nieces' -- and obligations, expectations, and passion intertwine to complicate matters.

As the Earl of Chichester courts Miss Frances, Lady Balfour's daughter, Katharina finds herself feeling unexpected emotions for the last gentleman she should be attracted to, and it isn't long before desire and craving change everything.

Yet others intervene to stop the attachment and both Katharina and James need to learn that which they want most, whether they are brave enough to pursue it, and how they want to attain it.

Warning: There are explicit romantic scenes. For mature audiences (+18).
