Lady Fugitive

At last, a long-awaited event happens in the Darby family. My eldest sister, Alisia, got married. The first of five sisters to say the cherished “yes.” And everything would be wonderful if it weren’t for an unexpected meeting that flipped my own world upside down. Five years ago my heart was broken, and now the one who is to blame for it has appeared on my path again. And I, Lady Yvonna Darby, should have been happy about our meeting—anticipating how long-forgotten feelings might flare up—but instead I accept an offer to become a teacher for three of Lord Carlyle’s heirs from the Agate Estate. A year away from home, which is supposed to help heal the wounded heart. But will I find peace by pretending to be an ordinary teacher? Or will something bigger and brighter await me in a place where terrible secrets hide right beside the fairy tale?
