He wants redemption. She brings ruin. Desire doesn’t care.
A sensual, witty Regency Romance from Best Selling Author Emma V Leech
Sampson Pelham, newly minted Viscount Cheam, has one goal: drag his family’s name out of the gutter and back into respectability. After years of being known as one of the infamous Scandalous Brothers, he is determined to give his younger siblings—especially the seven‑year‑old twins—a future unmarred by their father’s sins. Respectability is his mission. Discipline is his creed. Distraction is not an option. He is the quintessential stern, honour‑bound Regency viscount.

Enter Miss Wynter.

The new governess arrives with impeccable references, perfect manners, and a calm competence Sampson desperately needs. But when a violent snowstorm leaves them stranded together at a small inn, Sampson begins to suspect that Miss Wynter is not at all what she seems. It is the perfect setup for a snowbound Regency romance filled with forbidden attraction.

He’s right.

Miss Gwendolen Wynter is living a lie. Born Guinevere de Wynn, illegitimate daughter of the notorious Marie de Wynn, she carries a family reputation steeped in scandal, vice, and infamy. Desperate for a quiet life far from disgrace, she forged her references and fled to the first household that would take her—never imagining she’d end up working for the Scandalous Brothers themselves.

Worse still, she never expected to fall for the eldest.

As attraction sparks and secrets tighten around them, Gwen must keep her icy composure to avoid yet another ruinous scandal. But Sampson Pelham—stern, disciplined, and unexpectedly tender—is melting every one of her good intentions. Their snowbound encounter becomes a slow‑burn, governess‑and‑lord romance that threatens to unravel them both.
