Falling in love with her aristocratic employer is just the beginning of her high-seas adventure! Kyria Kingston is competent, clever, and not to be trifled with. So when her father pushes her into serving as a governess for the new Earl of Westbrook on the forty-day ocean voyage from Jamaica to London, she considers it a step down. She has dreams of running a great house, not chasing after two adorable hellcats. Until she meets the hunky, hopeless, hilarious earl. Matthew Weatherby doesn’t know which way is up when he suddenly inherits his brother’s title, lands, and his orphaned twin girls. He needs a replacement governess for the voyage home, he needs lessons in how to dress and act like a powerful aristocrat, but even more than that, he needs a wife who can be a mother to his nieces. Could Kyria be the answer to all three problems? And beyond that, can he get away with wooing Kyria, or will he be forced to bow to the rules of society? Please be advised: Steam level – Pretty darn hot! The Forty-Day Governess is part of the Regency in Color series.
