There`s a new governess at Fairmont House, and she`s going to be nothing but trouble.Emily Laurence is a liar. She is not polite, she`s not polished, and she has never taught a child in her life. This position was meant to be her sister`s - brilliant, kind Amy, who isn`t perpetually angry, dangerously reckless, and who does (inexplicably) like children.But Amy is unwell and needs a doctor, their father is gone and their mother is useless, so here Emily is, pretending to be something she`s not.If she can get away with her deception for long enough to earn a few months` wages and slip some expensive trinkets into her pockets along the way, perhaps they`ll be all right.That is, as long as she doesn`t get involved with the Edwards family`s dramas. Emily refuses to care about her charges - Grace, who talks too much and loves too hard, and Aster, who is frankly terrifying but might just be the wittiest sixteen-year-old Emily has ever met - or the servants, who insist on acting as if they`re each other`s family. And she certainly hasn`t noticed her employer, the brooding, taciturn Captain Edwards, no matter how good he might look without a shirt on . . .As Fairmont House draws her in, Emily`s lies start to come undone. Can she fix her mistakes before it`s too late?Praise for Lex Croucher:`Bridgerton`s wild little sister. So much fun!` Sarra Manning `Witty, whip-smart and full of characters I totally fell for.
