Dear Lady Vernoláskova, my twin brother and I need a new mother, even though papa insists that he will never marry again. She must be kind, smart and like cats... Lady Vernolásková's advice column is the most famous in all of London, but James St. Clair, Earl of Kenyon, knows full well that his young sons don't need a new mother, but a tutor. They need a man tough enough to take down his thugs, and James is determined to find one. Miss Amanda Leighton, a former teacher and tutor, knows that she is well qualified to be a home teacher. And while it's unheard of for a woman to be a homeroom teacher for boys, Amanda isn't about to lose her chance to land her dream job just because of such nasty little details. If Lord Kenyon insists on hiring only men, then she's left with only one option... Jamie doesn't know what to make of her new hire until she discovers the shocking truth - beneath the ill-fitting suit, his boys' homeroom teacher is a woman. Unconventional, mouthy, as an interesting woman should be. Even though Amanda tricked him, he can't let her go if she teaches his daughters so much. Jamie also unexpectedly learns a lot - about desire, seduction and passionate second chances...
