"In the first of a new series from beloved Regency romance author, Sarah Ladd, Delia, a governess to five recently orphaned children, would risk anything to protect them . . . even her heart"--

Cornwall, England, 1811, Blamed for her husband's death, Cordelia Greythorne fled Cornwall and accepted a governess position to begin a new life. Years later her employer's last request is that she watch over his five children. She can't abandon the children now that they've lost both parents, but their new guardian lives at Penwythe Hall, on the Cornish coast she tries desperately to forget. Jac Trethewey is determined to revive Penwythe Hall's once-flourishing apple orchards. He hasn't heard from his brother in years, until his nieces, nephews, and their governess arrive unannounced at Penwythe Hall. As the children take up residence, their governess proves to be a disruption to his carefully laid plans. -- adapted from back cover
