What Happens in Piccadilly

by Chasity Bowlin • 2020

There's no such thing as just a kiss...Chaos! That is what greets Miss Calliope St. James when she enters the household of her prospective employer, Lord Winn Hamilton, the Earl of Montgomery. The newly appointed guardian for his nieces and nephew, he's clearly a man who has no idea what to do with children? and they are children who clearly know when the adults in charge haven't a clue what they're doing. But he is handsome. Terribly, temptingly handsome even when he's maddening.Winn thought it was bad enough when his home was overrun with children hell-bent on driving him insane. Then their new governess arrived? and she looks like no governess he's ever seen. Distractingly beautiful, maddeningly forthright, frustratingly capable-he's equal parts attracted to her and infuriated by her.And then he sees the portrait? the portrait that changes everything. Because Calliope St. James isn't just the abandoned and unwanted child of unknown parents as she's always been led to believe. If Calliope is who he thinks she is, she's very, very wealthy and there are powerful people in the highest reaches of society who want her very, very dead.To keep her safe, he'll have to keep her close, and that presents them both with an entirely different sort of danger.
