Celestine Simons was
past the age when a woman could hope to marry. Still, she counted
herself blessed, for she held a good position as governess in the
household of tine Marquess of Ladymead. But when the Marquess's brother,
the handsome Lord Justin St. Claire, arrived for the Christmas season,
Celestine's lonely heart caught fire. He was so sweet and understanding.
Yet, a marriage proposal from a pleasure-seeking aristocrat had to be
merely cruel joke, if not pity for a poor spinster...
Love was a game
for the devil-may-care Lord Justin St. Claire -- until he met Miss
Celestine Simons. Justin never thought he could be felled by cheerful
good sense and intelligent conversation. He'd set out to give the plain,
timid miss an innocent thrill under the kissing bough -- becoming
smitten with the gray-eyed beauty was the least of his intentions. But
the more he denied his aching heart, the more he yearned to make
Celestine his.
I love Regency romances. This is a perfect example of a governess and
the lord of the manor finding love. I found this to be wonderful story
about love and happy endings.
