The Governess Teaches A Duke
(2025)(Book 34 in the Wayward Dukes' Alliance series)
A novel by Steffy Smith
Can Miss Maribel teach an insufferable Duke?
Thomas Denby, the Duke of Avondale was exasperated. Widowed and raising his young daughter Clara alone, he could not comprehend the rate at which he was hiring governess’s. He was a Duke, a man of import. Days filled with pressing engagements of both business and pleasure. He wanted a governess that was resilient, stern and learned in that order.
Miss Maribel Lewisham was confident when the Duke of Avondale advised her of these requirements that she met them all. The older sister of five brothers covered off her mettle and her middle class upbringing ensured her capabilities. It was this fortitude that allowed Miss Maribel to grind her teeth—the problem with the Duke was not her now charge but his own hubris.
Toe to toe these foes will go. Opposing sides at every turn. What they both failed to anticipate was their bickering to ignite a flaming pyre of desire. Will they be able to refrain from submitting to burning temptation? Or do they dare cross societal boundaries?
