Elisabeth Steele is in desperate need of a paying position to help her family after her father's untimely death. When she sees an advertisement for a governess position at Hensol Manor, it feels like a miracle. While her fun and imaginative way of teaching quickly wins over her two young pupils, her employer is definitely not as easy to crack. The lord of the manor may be handsome, but he has firm ideas about his younger brothers' education. Forced to walk a fine line between practicing her unusual but effective methods and doing as she's instructed, she can't help but be affected by the Earl's mesmerising gaze. When an intense attraction to this stubborn man is added to the equation, will her growing feelings affect Elisabeth's decision to defy him?
Charles Talbot, Earl of Hensol, is reeling after the sudden death of his mother, which leaves him in charge of his two younger brothers. In the following months, as they chase off successive governesses with their mean tricks, he finds himself at his wit's end. Out of sheer desperation, he hires a local girl with no references, hoping for the best. With her unconventional teaching methods, it becomes clear that the beautiful young woman is not at all what he expected in a governess and he's entranced. Already courting a woman approved by his mother before her passing, how will he handle the startling realisation he's rapidly falling in love with the red-haired beauty that is Elisabeth?
As Elisabeth and Charles clash over the boys' lessons, their feelings deepen and become harder to ignore. Torn between the wishes of a man she's losing her heart to and her wish to help his two grief stricken brothers, Elisabeth's position becomes increasingly precarious. Will her continued defiance lead to her being turned out of the house in disgrace or will Charles bend, seeing his brothers' happiness and discovering his own too? Will their inevitable conflict tear them apart forever or will their hearts find the path to each other by following the calling of true love?
