Love of a Governess (Books 1-3). Love of a Governess

Desiring the Governess     When Miss Althea Claywell overhears her uncle's decision to marry her to his friend, she escapes to a small village where Lord Preston Ambrose, Viscount Melcombe., might just offer the refuge she seeks.     Preston had wanted Miss Claywell from the first moment he spied her in London, When he stumbles across Miss Claywell in the village, he offers her the only position that she's likely to accept.     Will desire rule, or will they find love before Althea is found? Tempted by a Governess     Miss Katrina Carrick had two goals.
The first, was to sell the contents of her father's bookshop to pay his debtors. The second, to secure another position as a governess.     Lord Timothy Strotham wanted nothing more than to purchase the contents of the bookshop and be on his way. He did not count on getting the deceased owner's daughter as part of the bargain. Pursuing the Governess     Alec Winters, Earl of Harwich, wanted Miss Regina Rutledge for his wife, but there was one thing standing in his way-her betrothal to another man.
Miss Regina Rutledge loved Alec with all her heart, but her father refused to be moved by emotion. Before she could run away with Alec, her betrothed not only destroyed her home but killed her father. In fear for her life, and Alec's, Regina needed to disappear.     When Alec discovers her living, her betrayal cuts deep, and Alec isn't certain that he can ever forgive her.
