Miss Tibbles' Folly (Signet Regency Romance)

Though not a dragon, the governess was formidable in spirit. A lady in reduced circumstances, she had ushered dozens of young women to the altar without the slightest scandal. But that was before a dashing colonel who served with her long-departed fiancee took an interest in her. Soon, in defiance of the ton, his relatives, and the governess's former charges, the colonel makes a headlong charge to capture her heart. But just as their passion consumes them, a dark secret from the woman's past threatens everything they have hoped for!
