The Dazzled Heart — Nina Pykare

Jennifer's heart quickened at the thought of the handsome, fair-haired Viscount Haverford. So many had called him a blackguard--and there were whispers that he was a spy--for Napoleon himself! She was only a governess, yet his warm gray eyes, his heart-melting kindness, compelled her. How she wished she could consider his advances honorable. For here, in Dover, in a great house close to the sea and close to France, intrigue lurked in every shadow--especially in the piercing eyes of Monsieur Dupin, the mesmerist, whose sinister powers even Jennifer would find hard to resist. Every step led deeper into the labyrinth of dangerous secrets. If she dared to follow her heart, was she in peril of losing her life?
