A Governess's Guide to Passion and Peril by Manda Collins
Two friends reunite and discover hidden feelings while investigating a murder in this sensual, witty historical romance--perfect for fans of Evie Dunmore and Netflix's Bridgerton!Jane Halliwell once dreamed of a home of her own--but those dreams (and her dowry) died with her father. Now, she works as a governess, preparing her charge for a future no longer within her reach. When her employer is murdered during a house party, however, Jane is forced back into the world of the ton. But stepping in as hostess will require working with the same lord who once broke her girlish heart.
Lord Adrian Fielding was too consumed with his job at the Foreign Office to pay young Jane much heed, but he always considered her a friend. Which is why he's confounded by her icy demeanor now. More troubling still is his desire to melt the tensions between them. But his mentor's murder means he must first find the culprit--and ensure Jane's safety as she manages a house full of foreign dignitaries. Only Jane insists on joining the investigation, and Adrian, despite all his diplomatic skills, finds himself seduced by her sharp wit and sparkling eyes.
But with a vicious killer circling ever closer, will it soon be too late for their chance at forever?
Manda Collins grew up reading Nancy Drew books and Jane Austen novels, and the result is her own brand of Regency romantic suspense. She works as an academic librarian at her alma mater, where she studies the riddles of undergraduate research. She has advanced degrees in English Literature and Librarianship. How to Dance with a Duke, her debut novel, lasted five weeks on the Nielsen Bookscan Romance Top 100 list, was nominated for an RT Reviewer's Choice Award for best debut historical romance, and came in second place in the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence category. Eloisa James chose both How to Entice an Earl and Why Dukes Say I Do for inclusion in her Reading Romance column. Why Earls Fall in Love, her most recent book, was released in February 2014 and was described as a sparkling romance by Publishers Weekly.
