The Affair at Greengage Manor — Mona Gedney

An Impeccable Life

Richard Browning is a happy man. Indeed, the rakishly handsome master of Greengage Manor has finally achieved the sort of stable, respectable life he's long desired. But with a knock at his door, the harmony of his days is shattered. Suddenly, he's playing host to his twin sister's five orphaned children. What's worse, he's sparring with their self-appointed governess, an impudent miss who is far too attractive -- and too prone to interfere in other people's affairs -- for his peace of mind...

Now, before Richard's chilly fiancee can convince him to banish his wards to boarding school, Alexandra must find a way to set this otherwise admirable man straight: to show him that what his grand manor needs is a little more laughter and a lot more love...
