My Favorite Bride: 7 [Mass Market Paperback] Dodd, Christina

Samantha Prendregast makes her living as a governess-for-hire to London's elite, teaching their spoiled daughters how to land a husband. She's brilliant at it — sharp, practical, and utterly uninterested in romance for herself. Then she meets Colonel William Gregory, a war hero who needs her to transform his six wild sisters into marriageable young ladies before the season ends. He's gruff, damaged, and completely unprepared for how Samantha upends his carefully ordered life. Christina Dodd delivers Victorian romance with wit and heat, pairing a heroine who refuses to be swept off her feet with a hero determined to do exactly that. This is drawing room sparring that builds to genuine steam, with enough banter to keep you smiling and enough tension to keep you turning pages. For fans of Lisa Kleypas and anyone who loves a governess-with-attitude story.
