Beyond the Foothills by Essie Summers
Marilla St John had simply told the truth when the television interviewer asked for her views on marriage — but she was completely unprepared for the flood of unwelcome attention that followed. In desperation, she decided to retreat for a year to a remote station deep in the Southern Alps, there to serve as a governess, having taken the precaution, when applying by mail, of doing so under her never-used first name of Eleanor lest she be expected of romantically ulterior motives. But upon her arrival, she found the children alone with only their uncle Rufus Sinclair, whom Marilla disliked on sight, and who, thinking her merely a feckless tourist, disliked her just as intensely. Even worse, she discovered that he was certain his sister hoped he would fall in love with the new governess, who he thought was in on the whole scheme, and that he intended to turn this ‘husband-hunting Eleanor’ down for the job without even an interview! Marilla, grateful beyond words that Rufus did not realise that Marilla ‘Sinjin’ and Eleanor St John were one and the same, decided she would be off with the dawn.

But Fate had other plans for her . . .
