A governess is not a murder investigator.




To new governess Lorna MacDougal, that seemed a safe and reasonable assumption. Until her employer, the grand matriarch of the Cameron family sees fit to change all the rules of childcare. The woman seriously expects Lorna to discover who murdered her husband.




The family's three sons are obvious suspects: Stephen with his shallow wife, Gentle Charles who wouldn't hurt a fly, and the most dangerous of them all, Alexander Cameron the black sheep of the family and the most irresistible man Lorna has ever met.




But no one is as they seem, and her worst enemy is the one man she can't trust. The mystery deepens until death follows, and Lorna can't decide if she's in love with a monster or a wronged man. Or whether she'll be the next one to die.
