The governess game (HarperCollins)

He's been a bad, bad rake-and it takes a governess to teach him a lessonThe accidental governessAfter her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies.

However, the girls don't need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud: duke's heir in the streets and devil in the sheets. The ladies of London have tried-and failed-to make him settle down.

Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart... Without risking her own.The infamous rakeLike any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. When a stubborn little governess tries to reform him, he decides to give her an education-in pleasure.

That should prove he can't be tamed. But Alexandra is more than he bargained for: clever, perceptive, passionate. She refuses to see him as a lost cause. Soon the walls around Chase's heart are crumbling...

and he's in danger of falling, hard.
