Mademoiselle Cozette deLorme leaves war-torn France for England to track down the only surviving relative of a four-year-old boy whose father and mother were slain. She is to bring the news of this tragedy to the Earl of Stone and Hamer, and to present him with the nephew of whom he is now the guardian. Cozette’s devotion to the small boy is obvious, but the arrogant Earl has much to learn about parenthood, so she agrees to stay on as the child’s governess. However, she becomes the bane of the Earl’s existence, for not only does she ignore his noble breeding and authority every chance possible, but her feminine charms fluster the Earl to no end! As they both struggle to hide their true feelings for one another, Cozette has yet to divulge the clandestine purpose behind her being in the Earl’s life. She’s been handed a secret message from the King of France and it must be delivered to the King of England himself. It’s a dangerous mission, and one she can only complete with the Earl’s help.
