I truly enjoyed this historical romance--it alternately made me hold my breath and laugh. Elizabeth Sadler is a lady who decided it would be better to try and get to her brother in California rather then be forced to marry a gentleman who was old enough to be her father. She reaches California only to find out her brother is dead.
James Craig hears her crying her heart out in the hotel room next to hers and cannot help himself--he has to try and help. She skips out before he wakes up-taking with her the handkerchief he had lent her.
Meanwhile James needs a governess--desperately for his 4 daughters--or Treasures as he calls them. He looks all over for Elizabeth----she is found after trashing the Opium Den and arrested for petty larceny. He bails her out-and takes her back to his estate. She agrees to pay back the bail money by working as his governess.
It takes a bit getting used to--and one of the Treasures really gives her a hard time---until that fateful day (not going to tell you what happens)---and I promise there really is a happily ever after!!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
Can a gentleman looking for a governess find the greatest treasure of all?
When James Craig is awakened by the sound of a woman’s weeping, he fears he’s once again being haunted by a ghost from his past. The powerful railroad tycoon has given up all hope of escaping his nightmares. But when he opens his hotel room door, he finds not a memory, but a flesh-and-blood woman. A woman who makes him ache to take her into his arms and dry her tears…
Elizabeth Sadler came to San Francisco with a heart full of hope. After her dreams of a bright future are dashed, she finds unlikely solace in the arms of a stranger. A stranger who just happens to be looking for a governess for his four motherless daughters.
Although she tries to resist their charms, Elizabeth soon finds James’s little girls — his “Treasures” — sneaking their way past her defenses. But it’s their handsome father who poses an even greater danger to her battered heart as Elizabeth finds his stolen kisses and tender touches utterly irresistible. As the shadows of the past gather around them, James and Elizabeth must decide just how many dangers they’re willing to brave to claim the greatest treasure of all—true love.
