The Kindness of a Rogue
by Nancy Butler

"The last two governesses disappeared without a trace."

Miss Sara Cobb has accepted a position as governess at Tregallion House in distant Cornwall. But while traveling to her new home by coach, the former schoolteacher receives this cryptic warning from a fellow passenger. The roguish stranger clearly has no qualms about making Sara ill at ease. Still, she's intrigued by him in spite of herself—even more so when she discovers there is a good deal of truth behind his warnings.

Grenville Martyn is not welcome on the grounds of Tregallion House. He is an admitted poacher and is rumored to have seduced—and abandoned—the family's eldest daughter, creating an irreparable scandal. After witnessing Gren's generosity to those in need, Sara cannot believe he is guilty. Yet she fears her judgment may be clouded by her growing affection for him...an affection that is sorely tested when the secrets of the old house rise up and threaten them both.

Nancy Butler's Bio

Nancy Butler has been an Anglophile since she was nineteen, when she traveled to England to see Carnaby Street. ("I blame it on the Beatles!") Her frequent visits to an American friend living in London have furnished her with enough inspiration to keep writing Regencies well into the new millennium.

Butler resides in northern New Jersey with two cats, Aja and Puck, surrounded by her collection of artwork, funky antiques, and books. When she manages to get away from her computer, she can usually be found riding her quarter horse mare, Ginger, through the scenic wilds of Bergen County. Butler is the 1998 Golden Leaf Award winner for Best First Novel.
