Dear Lady Truelove . My twin brother and I need a new mother, though Papa insists he'll never marry again. Must be nice, brainy, and fond of cats . Lady Truelove may be London's most famous advice columnist, but James St. Clair, the Earl of Kenyon, knows his wild young sons need a tutor, not a new mother. They need a man tough enough to make his hellions tow the line, and James is determined to find one. Miss Amanda Leighton, former schoolteacher and governess, knows she has all the qualifications to be a tutor. And while female tutors are unheard of, Amanda isn't about to lose the chance at her dream job because of pesky details like that.

If Lord Kenyon insists on hiring a man, then she has only one option . Jamie isn't sure what to make of his new employee, until he realizes the shocking truth--beneath the ill-fitting suits, his boys' tutor is a woman. An unconventional, outspoken, thoroughly intriguing woman. Despite Amanda's deception, he can't dismiss her when his boys are learning so much. Yet Jamie, too, is learning surprising lessons--about desire, seduction, and passionate second chances .
