When a governess has unusual experience, there is only one place she belongs: the Governess Bureau.
That’s the trouble when you wake up with no memories from the last ten years: what do you do? For Miss Rachel Herriot, she has only one option – to be sent to a quiet manor house with one charge, Violet, to care for. A little governessing and recuperation, that’s all she needs.
Unfortunately, that’s not what she’ll get. Waiting for her at Quintrell Hall is not the idyllic quiet country life she was promised, but a gentleman called Timothy Astor. Mysterious, frequently absent from his home, and kissing her passionately in corridors with no introduction, Mr. Astor is not what Rachel expected.
And that’s the trouble with losing one’s memory, isn’t it? As Timothy watches the woman he knew and loved attempt to recognize him, there’s nothing for him but to quietly pretend their clandestine love affair – and their completely illegal adventures in France never happened.
But the past is looming and about to collide with the future. As preparations for Miss Violet Quintrell’s entrance into Society are threatened by Timothy’s refusal to reveal Rachel’s own past, there’ll be more than one unusual experience for this governess…
This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.

Mr Timothy Astor normally works as a spy for the Crown in France. Now however he's comforting his sister after the death of her husband. He can't believe his eyes when the new governess turns up.
The characters in this story have a lot of very scattered thoughts. It makes them unusual as hero and heroine.
Our poor Mrs Clarke who runs the Governess Bureau is not having much luck in this series. So many of her employees are breaking her rules and falling in love.
Each book can be read on it's own, and they are all good fun.
