For five years, Annette Downing has devoted herself to raising her two little brothers under the watchful eye of her cruel aunt. But with her aunt’s hospitality expiring soon, Annette is certain of only two things: She must marry if she hopes to keep her brothers safe, and the man must be willing to put up with their unruly ways. Faced with an unexpected proposal from the local vicar, Annette is desperate for a chance to reform her brothers. An invitation to Kellaway Manor—home of her late parents’ friends—offers the perfect opportunity.
Owen Kellaway, however, seems intent to complicate all of her plans. Despite his own mischievous ways, he is charged with the responsibility of teaching her brothers proper behavior. Seemingly unfit for the task, Annette refuses to take him seriously—especially his flirting. But when rivalry turns to friendship, Annette finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected. Torn between a safe, predictable future and a love that sets her heart racing, Annette must decide where her true happiness lies before it’s too late.
