About the book
Clarissa Driscoll teaches drawing, pianoforte and dancing to the children of the local gentry. But she was once the Earl of Kinsford's equal in society, and she refuses to let him browbeat her about her involvement in the lives of his sister and brother. If Clarissa is a tad eccentric, well, the earl is a bit overbearing. Their battle of wills plays out against a sister who sustains a riding accident, a step-mama who is more than eccentric, a brother who has kidnapped a dog, and a cousin whose in-laws are driving him to despair. Nothing two strong-willed people can't sort out--if they first address their own roiling emotions.
