Unwilling Heart — Sharon Gillenwater

It was unthinkable that the dashing and impossibly handsome Earl of Beckford should have romantic intentions towards a mere sevant. But lovely Sloane Donovan was no ordinary governess. She could ride a high-strung thoroughbred as well as any man, charm the most starchy dowager, and always said exactly what was on her mind. Her behavior was shocking, the gossips whispered, and her outrageous flirtation with his lordship could have but one outcome: She might surrender her body to his practiced seduction, but she would never claim his Unwilling Heart.
