Leda Wroth is atoning for the crimes of her past in her new life as a lady's companion, mentor, and fixer for those seeking love.

Produktbeschreibung
Leda Wroth is atoning for the crimes of her past in her new life as a lady's companion, mentor, and fixer for those seeking love. But finding a wife for the Mad Baron is a task that will defeat even clever, capable Leda, for what woman would want a man-titled or not-rumored to have killed his first wife? Leda will stay in her comfortable establishment in Bath, thank you. Until a ghost comes in search of her-a ghost determined to expose the secrets Leda has kept hidden for eight long years. Jack Burnham, Baron Brancaster of Holme Hall, isn't mad-he doesn't think. But he does need a governess for his daughter, and Leda Wroth seems the woman to help him, even if he suspects she's running away from something. Even if she raises longings for a life he knows he can't have. But how can Jack convince Leda she's safe with him when Holme Hall holds secrets of its own? For more than one betrayal haunts the windy cliffs of Norfolk where the mad baron's wife died. And while Jack might try desperately to shield Leda from the mistakes of his own past, he can't protect her from the ghosts in hers, which are hellbent on taking away everything she's come to love.
Autorenporträt
Misty Urban wrote her first story at age 5 for the benefit of her younger sister. It was, sources say, a rather conventional piece involving cats, mats, and possibly bats (the work is no longer extant). Her next venture, a journalism/reportage effort entitled "The Urban Star," peaked at a circulation of 3. She wrote her first novel at age 16. It remains unpublished.Her subsequent career paths have included stints as a bookseller in Madison, WI; an MA student at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL; a combined MFA/Ph.D. student at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY; and four years as an assistant professor at Lewis Clark State College in Lewiston, ID. She has most recently come to rest in eastern Iowa, where she reads and writes in the company of one handsome park ranger, two young aspiring writers, and a rather heavy collection of books.
