Book 1

Napoleon himself never gave Captain Gideon Radcliffe as much trouble as Miss Marian Murray.

The fiercely protective governess won't rest until she gains permission for the daughters of his late cousin to stay on at Gideon's newly inherited estate. He agrees to let Cissy and Dolly remain at Knightley Park for Christmas. But by springtime they-and Marian-must go. Marian is prepared to believe the captain a tyrant.

The truth is far more complicated. Gideon is a kind yet solitary man who sees the navy as his only sanctuary. Can Marian's unwavering faith, and the children's Christmas cheer, convince him he's found safe harbor at last?

One enchanted evening-and a sweet, breathtaking kiss-changes everything. For with Grace's three adorable charges playing fairy godmother, Rupert may discover his happy ending is closer than he thinks.

What governess would refuse a duke? Exuberant, opinionated, irrepressible Leah Shaw, that's who. Since her arrival at Renforth Hall, the Duke of Northam's young son, Kit, has thrived.

Leah, intent on traveling abroad, insists she will stay for one year only. Marriage would change everything-if only Hayden Latimer knew how to woo a woman who wants nothing to do with matrimony. All the duke's wealth could not buy Leah the one thing she cherishes most: her independence. But if an overprotective father can give his son room to grow, can she learn to put down roots? For it's every woman's prerogative to change her mind...when her heart is guiding her toward love.
