The White Governess of Hudson Manor by Hazel Linwood

“I had embraced you long before I touched you..”

Life as a performer is all Rosalie has ever known. Taken from the orphanage she grew up in by the owner of a traveling circus because of her unique appearance, she has been displayed and ridiculed too many times to count. Until she gets a chance to run away.
Edmund Spencer, the Earl of Hudson, is in over his head with raising his nieces. With one governess after the other quitting, he is hard-pressed to find an alternative. Even if that means employing the peculiarly pale woman that mysteriously shows up on his doorstep.
Their growing feelings for each other make Rosalie feel like she has finally found a home. But their fragile happiness is soon shattered. Edmund’s wounded pride betrays him once again. Α trap is set out for them. A trap created by the curse that has been plaguing Rosalie all her life.
