Those who teach still have much to learn...
Mr John Ashgate, Ballinger Bastard, is an educator, through and through. He loves watching his students learn, as much as he enjoys watching them grow into intelligent young men. Being settled in remote Wayhill Castle gives him the added privacy of the countryside and a welcome respite from the judgement of Society on his birth.
Mrs Caroline Wellsmere, the lovely new Wayhill governess, has a few secrets of her own. A widow for several years, she's also found solace at the castle, along with young ladies who are both challenging and delightful. The latter description could also be applied to her counterpart, the attractive tutor, who sparks an immediate response in places she'd thought long dead.
Their relationship grows apace, but when an unexpected incident disrupts the tranquillity of the countryside, the two of them have no choice but to seek help, lest young lives meet the worst of fates. Joining old friends in London is a good start, but there are tricky paths to walk before all are safe.
It's a dangerous undertaking for Caro and John, even though together they're a force to be reckoned with. But no matter the outcome, one thing is clear. When you truly love someone, no obstacle is insurmountable...
