About the book
She was known as "Letitia for Loveliness": If Nathaniel Pengelly had not so desperately needed a governess for his isolated sheep station, Letty knew he would never willingly have hired her - the head beautician in his father's store. In Nathaniel's own words, that sort of woman could only prove to be "artificial, totally unsuitable and probably a mischief maker." Nevertheless, Letty was determined to prove herself, and she accepted the last-minute offer. As for the high and mighty Nathaniel Pengelly, Letty vowed, he'd learn a lesson he'd never forget!
