A Family of Her Own by Rose Pearson

What do you do when everyone around you has what you want but can’t have?

For Sophie Lefebvre, the answer was simple – accept the position as governess to the pompous Earl of Wycliff’s sister, Gertrude. Rude, arrogant and absorbed with his wealth, his presence is a hard task to endure, but far better than the pain of watching others have what she cannot.
Claveston St. John, Earl of Wycliff, was smitten the moment he laid eyes on Lady Tate’s companion at the wedding of his good friend, William Pierce. When in jest he offered her a job as his sister’s governess, he never imagined she would accept. However, now that she has, he is determined to win her. However, that is easier said the done. How can he win a woman who cares nothing for his trappings? What else does he have to entice her to consider him a match?
When Sophie’s employment and freedom are threatened, Claveston knows that he is the only one who can help her. Is there any hope for these opposites attracting or are their differences too great?
