Produktbeschreibung
Two beautiful sisters - one an illegitimate governess, the other a celebrated debutante - compete for love amidst the scandal and intrigue of a Regency London Season. Lissa Hazlett lives life in the shadows. The beautiful, unacknowledged daughter of Viscount Partington earns her living as drudge to the social climbing Lamonts while her vain and spoiled half sister, Araminta, enjoys London's social whirl as its most feted debutante. When Lissa's rare talent as a portraitist brings her unexpectedly into the bosom of society - and into the midst of a scandal involving Araminta and suspected English traitor Lord Debenham - she finds an unlikely ally: charming and besotted Ralph Tunley, Lord Debenham's underpaid, enterprising secretary. Ralph can't afford to leave the employ of the villainous viscount much less keep a wife but as an accepted member of the ton he can help Lissa cleverly navigate a perilous web of lies that will ensure everyone gets what they deserve. THE MYSTERIOUS GOVERNESS is Book 3 in the Daughters of Sin series but can be read as a stand-alone as it features the sibling rivalry between Viscount Partington's two nobly-born and three illegitimate daughters from a completely different perspective. Book 1: Her Gilded Prison Book 2: Dangerous Gentlemen Book 3: The Mysterious Governess Book 4: Beyond Rubies Book 5: Lady Unveiled~The Cuckold's Conspiracy

Nettelton - she writes Africa-set romantic suspense and Women's Fiction.Born in the African mountain kingdom of Lesotho, Beverley married the handsome Norwegian bush pilot she met in Botswana's beautiful Okavango Delta while managing a safari lodge.She began her writing career as a journalist, but it was during long aerial survey contracts around the world-typically as the sole woman among the crew-that she began writing romance novels, finding in them an escape from the isolation.Beverley also adores making historical costumes, knitting, and travelling, usually to Norway to visit her older daughter.She lives just north of Melbourne with the same wonderful husband she whisked away from Botswana thirty years ago, together with their youngest daughter, and a gorgeous, dopey Rhodesian Ridgeback who weighs more than she does.When she's not writing, she runs a bed & breakfast & Farmstay business (called Wuthering Heights) in South Australia's beautiful wine growing Clare Valley with her two sisters.You can visit her websites at: www.beverleyoakley.com or www.beverleysbooks.com
