Historical romance/ received from tantor

Emilia runs away from family drama and seeks the help of her king. And the king places her with Lord Ian.

Ian needs a governess, because his dad left behind a bunch of bastards and now they are swarming the castle. He is a good guy and wants to care for them all, but he is only one man.

Lady Emilia has secrets and wants to be on the right side of history. She can keep low here.

But they fancy each other, obviously. She has secrets, he does not think anyone would ever want him.

Romance, danger, secrets. A good one.

Good narration. But then I always like Scottish romances done by Ferguson. He does them very well.

Suffering through a short marriage to an enemy of Scotland, Lady Emilia MacCulloch manages to escape just before her husband dies. But the Ross Clan will stop at nothing to get her back, for she plays a big part in their plans to thwart Robert the Bruce. She fears not only for her life, but for her family who will be labeled traitors. Placed by her king as a governess in the household of a devastatingly handsome warrior, Emilia finds herself drawn to the man when she had previously sworn off love altogether.Ian Matheson has spent his entire life trying to prove himself. When his father passes away and his mother takes her vows at a nearby abbey, he is suddenly left in a position he was wholly unprepared for. And then his father's dozen illegitimate children arrive on his doorstep in need of a father figure of their own. They are adorable and reckless, and he's certain they'll drive him mad. Just when he thinks he might actually need to find a wife to help him, Lady Emilia is presented to him by the king. She needs his protection and he needs her help with the bairns. Ian is tempted by her angelic face, her fiery tongue, and the secrets that surround her. He must resist his growing desire and prove to his clan that he is a worthy leader. But maybe he can have the respect of his people and Emilia, too.
