Lady Elizabeth is hiding in the country as governess, Miss Lizzie Moore. When handsome Lord Hawkins arrives at her employer’s house, she wants nothing to do with the roguish earl, even though her heart says otherwise.
Lord Hawkins is a rake of the highest order but when he is drawn to his cousin’s beautiful governess he must rein in his impulses. She can’t be his, though Hawk can’t stop thinking about her.
After an attempt on Lizzie’s life, Hawk learns who she really is. In defiance of orders from the Home Office to bring her in, he vows to protect her. Even though he’s not entirely sure she’s innocent, she is his responsibility. Lizzie doesn’t trust him but has grown to love him. When Hawk offers her the ultimate safeguard against nefarious scoundrels—his name—she refuses. She loves him, but fears she’s merely another one of his ’duties.’

Richard, the Earl of Hawkins, known to friends as Hawk has grown overwhelmingly border with life amongst to "ton". It's time to visit his cousin and best friend in the countryside. He blames himself for the death of his sister and has been restless ever since.
Miss Lizzy Moore escaped London and has been working as a governess for the last two years. She is happy to care for someone else's children since she is unlikely to have her own. Nobody can ever find out who she is or who her father was.
This is an exciting historical romance. The characters are fun and easy to get involved with. An independent and brave heroine and a suspicious and over protective hero. Just what I enjoy.
I loved it.
