In My Wildest Dreams

IN MY WILDEST DREAMS is book four of the Governess Brides Series and sets off in a new direction when Adora (introduced in THAT SCANDALOUS EVENING and possibly the most beloved character I ever created) buys the Distinguished Academy of Governesses and takes a hand in the lives of the young women as they go out to seek their fortunes. IN MY WILDEST DREAMS is also my homage to Sabrina, that famous and charming Cinderella story. I mixed it with a dash of James Bond for possibly my best-selling and most popular historical. SUMMARY: Since she was a little girl, Celeste has had one burning desire:to marry Ellery Throckmorton. But what chance does a gardener's daughter have of capturing the heart of one of England's wealthiest gentlemen? However, the education she receives at the Distinguished Academy of Governesses enables Celeste to return to Blythe Hall with a refinement that complements her ravishing beauty -- and makes her bold romantic dream more attainable. But, alas, temptation gets in the way...For wherever Celeste turns, it is not Ellery she encounters, but his serious, yet undeniably intriguing, older brother Garrick. The elder Throckmorton will have no one interfere with the younger's impending nuptials, and his meddling infuriates Celeste to no end. Still, she cannot disregard the fluttering of her heart whenever Garrick deigns to smile at her. And the passion she senses smoldering beneath his formidable control is tempting her in a manner a lady must never allow...
