A novel by Barbara Lohr
"When you need to lift your spirits with a book, The Royal Governess by Barbara Lohr is sure to delight you." Goodreads Reviewer
"My mother always told me, Christina, never get into a car with a strange man. Would that apply to boats too? Spray hit my face when the boat dove into another wave. Maybe I should have listened to Mom."
The governess needs a safe place for her daughter, but who will guard her own heart?
Christina Newhart escapes to a Mediterranean island with daughter Lexi. King Marco Giovanni Pietro di Napolitano needs a governess for Gregorio, his teenage son. Christina tailors her resume to fit his requirements, but has she oversold herself? A skilled equestrian? She doesn't ride. And then there's her daughter, when she's offered a son to help Americanize the Heir Apparent in preparation for Harvard. Upon arrival, she finds her new pupil polite and teachable. His father? Charming but not at all happy about Christina's white lies. But then, he may have his own secrets.
Harvard is King Marco's goal for his son. He would also like to find a new wife. Christina becomes his advisor. In the process of discussing literature and what make a good wife, the king begins sending his governess mixed messages. As she waltzes in his arms at the Gatsby gala he's planned, Christina can't deny the feelings she has for this impossible man, who supposedly kept his first wife in a tower. This is a fun, fanciful look at who holds the reins when a governess from Pittsburg meets royalty.
