Lady Eleanor's secret

the long version

Lady Eleanor feels destined forever to endure the misery of living as an unpaid governess to her brother Edward's children - until she meets Alexander, Lord Bentley. Alex is seeking a suitable wife to care for his children, leaving him to live freely. Then, mistakenly believing he's compromised Eleanor, he makes her an offer, and she accepts with delight. However, on discovering his real motive, Eleanor is horrified. If she tells him the truth he will surely send her away. And while Edward, needing his sister's inheritance, plans to separate them, will Eleanor's secret also ruin everything when it is revealed?
