What Lies Beneath

About the book

A troublesome governess...

Mrs Harris has worked for the Earl of Ashburton for more than five years. His daughter, Tilly, loves her, and despite facing many insults and snide comments from Mrs Harris, Ashburton respects and appreciates her dedication to Tilly.

However...

There is something else, something that bothers Ashburton about Mrs Harris. Like a persistent wasp at a picnic, he cannot help but be intrigued by her.

What is it about this prim and proper woman with spectacles that is driving him to distraction?

A woman with a secret identity...

Mrs Regina Harris is a fraud.

Her name is not Regina Harris, she has never been married, and she is not truly a governess. Despite this, she believes she has done a remarkable job with Tilly, the earl's beloved but stubborn daughter. Tilly may be illegitimate, but she is the apple of her father's eye. Living at Goshen Court is delightful, and as for the earl...

No, she cannot dwell on the earl, as that would be a grave mistake.

Well, perhaps not the gravest. Her biggest error may be seeking revenge on the two men who forced her to flee and adopt a false identity. It could be writing her life story without properly disguising the truth, putting everything she has worked so hard to conceal at risk.

Time is running out. Eventually, her facade will crumble, and the earl will discover her true identity. But Regina isn't even sure who she really is anymore.
