My Brown-Eyed Earl (The Wayward Wallflowers Book 1)

William Ryder, Earl of Castleton, needs to hire a governess to help raise the young twins in his care—a decision prompted by his mother's public wish for him to marry a suitable woman. When he meets the candidate for the position, he discovers she is Margaret Lacey, his former betrothed who ended their engagement years ago. Since their broken engagement, Meg has endured a tragic accident that left her with few prospects. Now twenty-three and without means, she approaches Will about the governess position. Despite their shared history, Will hires her. Neither anticipates the powerful attraction that reignites between them as they work together. The arrangement forces both to confront feelings they thought long buried and question whether they might finally have a second chance at love. This is the first book in The Wayward Wallflowers series.
