PHOEBE WAS JUST A GOVERNESS…
But now she was too old for governess duties, and after coping with the Deverell brood, she'd had enough! She was determined the Deverells' uncle Sebastian would honor his obligations, but their first meeting was not auspicious.
Phoebe was both shocked and fascinated when she understood that Sebastian believed she was offering herself as his mistress, and for one awful moment she actually contemplated herself in that role! Certainly, given her past, there was no hope of marriage, even if Sebastian did show no inclination to let her go….

But she is his captive–and soon it's crystal clear what payment Rorik seeks as his reward. . . .
