description: Young Adult version of Nine Coaches Waiting.Linda Martin has been hired by Madame de Valmy to be the English governess to her nine year old nephew, Philippe de Valmy. Philippe is to be taught English by someone who has no knowledge of the French language. Linda, who lived in France when she was a child before her parents died and sees the job as a chance to go back to France and erase the unhappy memories of her life in an orphanage in England, lies about her ability to speak French to get the job. Once she arrives at the Chateau Valmy where Philippe lives with his aunt and uncle Leon, she begins to see that not everything is as simple as it first seemed. Someone seems to want Philippe, who is the heir to the Chateau, dead. The main suspects are his uncle who will inherit if the boy dies or his handsome son, Raoul. However, Linda is falling in love with Raoul, and dare she even hope(?), he seems to be falling in love with her. Linda knows she needs to protect her shy young charge. But is Raoul trying to help Philippe or kill him?.
