Claire and the other ladies of the Governess Club are working to save money to open a school they can call their own. She does like her job but doesn't like that she is treated like she is beneath others. She is working hard to take of the children she does care about to save money. She isn't interested in finding a husband as she doesn't want to belong to anyone. Jacob comes to the house as the kids new tutor. What the family doesn't know is he is really the Earl of Rimmel. He wanted to get away from his reputation for a while. He wasn't expecting to fall in love with Claire. Her beauty and willingness to look for the good in everyone touched his heart. Will she stay once she learns who he is or will she go on to live her dream.Claire is a smart woman who has several dreams for her future. One minute she is asked to be an extra at a party for the family and next she is sent away like a servant. She gets tired if living like that. She has some great friends that stand by her side. She is beautiful and sexy as she finds out as Jacob awakens her desires. Jacob is known for being a wild earl. He never cared before about anything. Under his role as a tutor he sees he can be so much more if he wanted to be. He is smart and while at times not very patient he learns to be good around the kids. He is also a very sexy man who is used to getting women.I really enjoyed this book and at first getting the background on the club. I like the idea of during that time period these woman having the dream and desire to do what they want. The author does a great job in the place setting of the book. Claire and Jacob are opposites but really seem to work together. They begin to know each other and begin to have feelings for each other. Claire looks for the good in people and brings out the best in Jacob. She really helps him grow as a person. I love reading about these two characters and they have a wonderful story for everyone to enjoy. I really think anyone who like a historical romance will enjoy this one.
