Six Missives

Chelle despises Mr. Bancroft, the founder of a competing school for young ladies. Already, he’s lured away two teachers and seems intent on bringing ruin upon her school, all while the headmistress is away. Though Chelle has never met the man, the few missives they’ve exchanged have told her exactly the sort of person he is—a blackguard.
When the pair encounter each other as strangers one evening, they form an instant connection. Intent on romancing Chelle, Sir Miles (Mr. Bancroft) eventually learns that she is the famed Miss Ellington—the one teacher he’d hoped to lure to his school. Unfortunately, she’s as loyal as she is unwilling to forgive. Now he must do the impossible—find a way to soften her opinion of Mr. Bancroft while making her fall for Sir Miles.
