A Happy Beginning

Sophia Pemberton, the beleaguered governess at Haddington House, has found herself in the odd predicament of being secretly enamored of the intriguing and gruff stable master, Duncan Buchanan. She has watched the handsome Scotsman from her window and studied him during the childrens’ riding lessons. Her heart longs to know him better, but her more logical mind would settle for simply calling him her friend.
Duncan cannot make heads nor tails of the quiet governess. She’s clever and determined, resourceful and kind. She’s also English, which is a barrier between them she has likely underestimated.
The demands of their miserable employers manage to toss Duncan and Sophia repeatedly together, building an unexpected bond between them. But is there any happy ending for two people from entirely different worlds?
