A historical romance mystery treat.
The unrecognized granddaughter of a Duke, Miss Josephine Morrison feels lucky to be offered the position of governess to the Vicar, Mr. Carter’s, two young daughters. That is until his so
n becomes enchanted with her charms, and she is forced to seek new employment.
She has plenty of time to reach London by the eighth, the condition stated in the letter she received, to secure her new position as companion to an elderly lady in London, and is quite enjoying her conversation with her young traveling companion, Josh Middleton.
Mr. Middleton is on his way to London to join the army and fight the French, as soon as he drops off his very special rabbits with a relative who works for a circus there. He is explaining just why Harry and Agatha are so special when the coach begins to pick up speed, an alarming amount of speed.
William Penhallow, Lord Earl of Oakworth, pulls his curricle to the side of the narrow road when he hears the rapidly approaching coach, and watches stunned as it hits and dip, flies into the air and lands in a ditch. He rushes over, pulls the injured passengers from the coach, and takes them home to recover from their injuries.
Thus begins the misadventures of Miss Josephine Morrison. But Ms. Richards has much more in store for her readers and for the delightful cast of characters she has created as unknowing and unwitting champions to the rare and unique, Harry and Agatha.
Historical romance fans of classics such as Barbara Cartland will enjoy this refreshing romp and it’s unique twists and turns.
