The Earl, Her Reluctant Guardian

The Earl, Her Reluctant GuardianVANESSA

With her uncle's death, Vanessa was now alone. Still, after her final year at the Academy for Young Ladies, she could hardly wait to reach Hill House. When she arrived at her destination, she was astonished to discover her guardian residing in her home. If she had considered him at all, she imagined him in the background protecting her interest from afar.

Moreover, her aunt by marriage was apparently in charge of the household. Even worse, her aunt's relatives were dwelling in the house with her. Why had her guardian allowed such a situation to exist?

Most disturbing of all, Vanessa found signs of a ghost inhabiting the house too, filling her with fear and unease. Did Lord Danville know about the ghost? If so, what did he intend to do about the matter?

If her aunt's relatives and the ghost weren't disturbing enough, Vanessa's handsome guardian played havoc with her
senses, awaking longings she had never experienced before.

LORD DANVILLEJacob Southall, Fifth Earl of Danville, didn't have time for this intriguing bit of femininity. He had a dangerous spy to apprehend. Regardless of his reluctance for the task of guardian, he assumed the burden. She was far too tempting to be allowed into society without his protection.
