Katrina Clark had two goals. To secure a position as a governess and discover the secrets of what happened between a man and woman before settling into spinsterhood.

Lord Timothy Strotham wanted nothing more than to purchase the contents of the Clark's Book Shop and Lending Library and be on his way. He did not count on getting the deceased owner's daughter as part of the bargain.

Handfasted to preserve her reputation, they set out for a three day journey. Will Katrina learn all the secrets before she arrives at her destination or will Timothy be able to deny his own desires and leave Katrina as pure and innocent as he found her?
