Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:

A governess in jeopardy ... and the marquis's son who goes undercover to protect her.

Lord Octavius Pryor leads a carefree and untroubled life, until the night he visits Vauxhall Gardens in the guise of a woman.

At Vauxhall, Octavius discovers that being a female is very different from being a man. Annoyingly different, unpleasantly different, andâ??when he encounters the lecherous Baron Rumpoleâ??dangerously different.

Determined to teach the baron a lesson, Octavius infiltrates Rumpole's household, where he meets the woman of his dreams: Miss Toogood, governess to the baron's daughters.

Suddenly Octavius has three pressing tasks. 1) Teach the baron to keep his yardstick in his breeches. 2) Keep Miss Toogood safe. 3) Convince her to marry him.

A word of caution: This novel is a bodice ripper, and I mean that quite literally. Bodices are ripped in this bookâ??and not in a playful or sexy way. However, I promise you that all rippers of bodices receive their just desserts.

Length: Full-length novel of 88,000 words

Sensuality level: A Regency romance with mild love scenes
