Elizabeth Downton

The Governess Bride Elizabeth Downton

Duke Edward Arrington has been trying to suppress his emotions for Miss Elizabeth Barrett, a governess to his three sisters for the past four years. Elizabeth is an intelligent and regal woman, but is aloof and guarded. Elizabeth has a hidden identity and past. She has survived, escaped and concealed herself from two monstrous men, who want to use her for their own means. Edward's intuition had always told him that she was not who she appeared to be. She is nothing like an average governess. Edward feels a rare connection to this mysterious woman. He knows she harbours similar affection for him, although is afraid to reveal it. He plots to court her discreetly and woo her until she is unable to deny her feelings for him. Elizabeth has endeavoured to conceal her past for four successful years. But her life takes a perilous turn when Edward informs her that she has to accompany them to London for mid season. Elizabeth knows her affection for Edward could place herself in terrible danger, but can she deny her love? If her terrible past catches up with her, she may be forced to leave Edward and the family she has grown so fond of behind, forever...
