The Secret Desires of a Governess
“—The Dragon of Brahmors Abby was such a bloody, bloody fool. Following the incidents in the library and in the churchyard, as she liked to refer to them, she’d managed to avoid spending any more time alone with Lord Brendall.
She couldn’t trust herself when in his company— she had a tendency to throw caution out the window.
Jacob had left her for the evening— some hours ago now. His recognition of the alphabet was sorely lacking, so she’d busied herself painting out some cue cards to us...e as a teaching aid. She wanting nothing more than for him to succeed.
A light tapping at the door had her raising her eyes, hand clenched around the small detail brush she was using to paint a rhinoceros to depict the letter r. She wondered if it would be Lord Brendall and almost gave an un- lady- like curse when her heart began to pound.
