SHEV is a 30,000 word novella and the 5th and final installment in my beloved NEXUS series. SHEV can be read as a standalone. The Marquess of Shevington's bleak existence sparks to life after hiring a mysterious governess whose secrets stir his curiosity and whose courage awakens his desire. A LOVE SO DEEP... Marcus Keene, Lord Shevington, leads a life of idleness and indulgence—or so he would have everyone believe. The illusion he has carefully crafted to protect his country no longer holds the same appeal it once did. His life takes a dramatic turn when a five-year-old girl—his daughter—appears on his doorstep, scared and angry and carrying a missive from his former French mistress. A SECRET SO DARK... The unassuming, aloof governess Shev hires begins to break through to his daughter while protecting a dark secret of her own. A secret that is tearing her apart, day by day. What the governess does not understand is that mysteries are like catnip to Shev. Irresistible. Much like the governess herself. But all is about to change when his daughter's French family arrives to take her away, and Shev's faced with the prospect of an empty home once again and his heart's desire slipping from his grasp.
