The Governess Game

After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: governess to two wild orphans everyone else has given up on. What the girls need isn't more discipline, it's a loving home, and Alexandra is the first adult clever enough to see it.

Their guardian is Chase Reynaud: duke's heir in the streets, devil in the sheets, and a committed bachelor who believes himself unfit for anything as domestic as attachment. When his new governess proves stubbornly determined to reform him, Chase decides to turn the tables and give her an education instead, in pleasure.

Alexandra is cleverer, more perceptive, and far more passionate than Chase bargained for, and she refuses to write him off as a lost cause. As the walls around his heart start to crumble, he finds himself in genuine danger of falling hard. The second novel in Tessa Dare's New York Times bestselling Girl Meets Duke series, The Governess Game is a witty, steamy Regency romance about a rake who's certain he can't be tamed, and the one woman equipped to prove him wrong.
