About the book
KATHARINE WAS TOO BEAUTIFUL.... After all she had been educated to earn her living only as a governess. And being exceptionally beautiful was certainly no asset for such a position. So when Katharine's uncle and his fashionable young wife invited her into their home she was overjoyed. But the sweet and innocent Katharine found herself living a life very different from the one she had expected. Katharine suddenly found she had fallen into the hands of adventurers. Was she clever enough to meet their dangerous challenge?
