Airiana Flint is a governess at the home of Alexander Hunt, the Eighth Duke of Berrisford. She is the granddaughter of an earl, but her mother was disowned when she left home to marry someone much lower on the social ladder. Airiana has had a hard life as her mother soon came to regret her decision and Airiana's father tried to drink that realization away. Airiana made it through her childhood years because her aunt took an interest in her and sent her to a school that would teach her to be a lady. That way, the aunt figured, she could attract a richer patron to support her and help to pay her aunt back. Airiana did not like her aunt's plans and left to seek honest employment. Her salvation was a job as a governess for the Duke's illegitimate daughter/ward.Christmas is just days away when the Duke called Airiana into his library.
