    For philosopher Ryan Collier, his secluded mansion is  literally his sanctuary. A place for quiet introspection. Unfortunately, his  spendthrift sister and three rambunctious children have invaded that serenity,  and he quickly sends for a governess to restore order. Someone grim-faced and  experience. But the young woman who appears on his doorstep is neither. Still,  there’s some thing about her that keeps Ryan from sending her packing… 
         
Miranda Kent wants to succeed at this well-paying job, not  just because of her father’s onerous debts, but because she has been an avid  follower of Ryan’s utopian writings for years. She always thought of herself as  his kindred spirit, and even though he’s a bit more judgmental and biting than  she might have expected, he’s also more dynamic, not to mention, seductive.  In fact, his every scowl seems to make her  melt. 
But she needs to resist him, for her own sake as well as  his. After all, the one thing he prizes above all else is logic. And it would  be hopelessly illogical to think that someone like Ryan Collier could fall for  someone like Miranda Kent. Plus, the sister and three children would never allow  it. Because unbeknownst to the young governess, they are about to wreak more  havoc than even Ryan Collier, in all his celebrated brilliance, could ever have  imagined. |

    Matchmaker extraordinaire Russel Braddock has an uncanny knack for picking just the right bride for just the right room--even if the prospective spouses have never met, and aren't even looking for a mate!  |

		And in the
      fifth and final book of this BALLAD series, Braddock arranges a marriage
      of convenience between a feuding granddaughter and the Boston investment
      advisor who was dumped by a bride in a previous book in the series. Jack
      Ryerson is understandably reluctant to trust Russell Braddock again, as
      you can tell from the title: FOOL ME TWICE.

      Then He Kissed Her
		
      
       
      ISBN 0-8217-7511-1 
      Three governesses find
      unexpected love in THEN HE KISSED HER. In my contribution,
      Love Passages, Miranda Kent goes to work for a reclusive philosopher who values
      discipline above all else, but whose stately home has been mired in chaos
      with the invasion of his three young cousins. He expects Miranda to
      restore order. Instead, she creates more chaos - in his heart. |
