From Goodreads
Single father and confirmed bachelor Jack Skeffington is the mastermind behind an international smuggling ring, yet unable to control his rambunctious ten-year-old twins. What he needs is a stern, experienced, no-nonsense governess. What he gets is his business partner’s untouchable sister, whose delectable body Jack yearns to pull close.
Mademoiselle Désirée le Duc cannot wait to return to France and regain her lost vineyard. But to do so, she must repay crippling debt. Determined to buy freedom, she accepts temporary employment from an Englishman with a wicked smile and a big… wine cellar. His kisses taste like heaven and his arms feel like home. How can she choose between two families separated by the sea?
My thoughts
I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10. This book was a NetGalley copy that I was sent in exchange for an honest review. My thanks to the Author via the Publishers for the opportunity to read this.
Out of the first 6 books in this series, this one is my favourite. This time the Duke in question is a female with the surname le Duc. As Desiree takes up a position as a temporary governess to the 10 year old twins of Jack Skeffington, single father and confirmed bachelor. As time progresses Desiree realises that she is developing feelings for the children in her care and not only just them. As she has major reasons for having accepted the temporary position, her loyalties are torn between her family across the channel and the one family that she finds herself living with. Which family will she choose and more importantly how can she make that choice?
Grab a copy yourself and immerse yourself in the lives of Desiree and Jack.
