​His Grace's Governess, my first novel, releases in one week! On February 4th, 2025, you will be able to purchase it at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Books2read, Apple, and Kobo. I SO hope you enjoy it! So much effort has gone into refining this book into what it is today and, without the help of my editor Denise Weimer and publisher Wild Heart Books, this novel would not be seeing the light of day--not in its current state, anyway. If you decide to buy it or read it at the library when it comes out, please feel free to leave it a review on GoodReads, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and BookBub. I would love to know what you thought of it. As it is my first book, it won't be perfect. Truly--none of my books ever will be. However, I do hope to always improve in my writing and provide my readers with a good reading experience, and I do read your reviews and comments. If you must criticize, please be constructive and do try to remember that I am a person with emotions, whether I am in front of you or not. Speak as you, yourself, would wish to be spoken to. Thank you, again for reading and for taking the time to be on this writing journey with me!

Here's what the book is about:

A governess with a secret. A duke with a broken heart. Can love heal their wounds?
Miss Eleanor Clairbridge, at five and twenty, has resigned herself to a life without love. With her
family's London townhouse threatened by dwindling finances, she accepts employment as a
governess to help support her widowed mother and preserve her cherished childhood home.
When Eleanor arrives at Ivy Grange Estate, the last thing she expects to find is a spark of
attraction between her and her new employer. Determined not to risk her position, she resolves
to keeps her distance. There is more than one reason a romance between them can never be.
Edmund Colhampton, the Duke of Albemarle, has no intention of finding love. Since losing his
family in a tragic carriage accident five years ago, he has devoted himself to protecting his
young niece, the only family he has left. But when his niece’s enchanting governess arrives at
the estate, Edmund finds himself reconsidering his vow never to love again. Why then, as he
seeks to know her more, does she seem determined to avoid him at all costs?
As Eleanor fulfills her role as governess, her past begins to catch up with her, threatening to
unravel the secrets she holds dear. Both Eleanor and Edmund must confront their deepest fears
and decide whether to succumb to the darkness within or brave the path to healing and love.
