(Sara)
Sweet
Sara Collins is one of the founding members of the governess club.
But she has a secret… She doesn’t love teaching. She’d much
prefer to be a vicar’s wife and help the local community. But this
quiet mouse doesn’t want to upset her friends, and she resolves to
help in whatever ways she can.
Nathan
Grant is the embodiment of everything that frightens Sara. Which is
why she can’t understand why the handsome but reclusive and gruff
man is so fascinating to her. When Sara decides it’s time to take a
chance and experience all that life has to offer, Nathan is the first
person she thinks of.
Will
Sara’s walk on the wild side ruin her chances at a simple, happy
life? Or has she just opened the door to a once-in-a-lifetime chance
of passion?

Excerpt
Why
did his solicitousness grate on her all of the sudden? Wasn’t it a
sign that he cared for and respected her? She doubted that Mr.
Pomeroy would even think about putting his tongue in her mouth, let
alone tell her he wanted to do it again and again and . . .Sara
stopped her thoughts and continued to smile. “I am. In fact, I was
wondering if I might ask a question of you.” He straightened and
returned her smile. “Of course, anything I can help you with.”
She
pressed her lips together for a moment and took a deep breath. “What
is the definition of greed?” The words rushed out of her before her
mother’s voice had a chance to stop them. Mr. Pomeroy blinked.
“Well, I would say it is the desire to have more when one’s need
has already been satisfied. It is
about
excess.” Sara felt her shoulders droop. Her mother had been right.
“So when one’s need has been satisfied, it is a sin to desire
more.”

(Louisa)
Louisa
Brockhurst is on the run - from her friends, from her family, even
from her dream of independence through The Governess Club. But
sometimes it’s easier for her to hide from those she loves in order
to escape the secrets of her past.
Handsome
but menacing John Taylor is a former prize-fighter turned inn-keeper
who is trying to make his way in society. When Louisa shows up at his
doorstep he’s quick to accept her offer to help - at a price. He
knows that she’s hiding something and he can’t help his
protective instincts around the beautiful woman.
Their
attraction grows, but will headstrong, fiery Louisa ever trust the
surprisingly kind John enough to tell him the dangerous secrets from
her past that keep her running? Or will the power of her feelings
scare her into running yet again?

Oh those sound so good! I've not seen hers before but so gonna check em out :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Good series!
DeleteI liked Sara's short conversation with Nathan in the presence of her mother. I think Nathan was befuddled by her question, but I could see Sara's mind going round and round with her conscience. :-) Sara sounds like a very brave young woman...all set to take a flying leap into the unknown of romance! Ha! Thanks for this post. jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteNathan and John both sound intriguing.
