The Gentleman's Bride Search

Governess turned matchmaker!

The time has come for
strong-willed Evangeline Fairfax to leave her position as governess to
the Chase children so she can oversee the founding of a new charity
school. But the children’s father, mill-owner Jasper Chase has made no
effort to hire a replacement. Evangeline decides to take matters into
her own hands by finding her employer a wife.

Jasper is livid
when he discovers Evangeline has organized a house party and invited
several eligible young women. Vexed as he is with her meddling, Jasper
finds himself enjoying the party and suddenly aware of Evangeline’s
beauty and charm. He agrees to cooperate with her matchmaking efforts if
she will give him lessons in courting.

Evangeline’s opinion of
her employer changes entirely when she overhears the guests discussing
his business – a bold initiative to prove that he can make a profit
while providing his workers a decent life. Knowing how hard he works for
such an admirable cause makes Evangeline appreciate what a dynamic,
intelligent and ruggedly attractive man Jasper is.
As his courting
lessons progress, Evangeline begins to doubt that any of the other
ladies will make Jasper and his children the kind of wife and mother
they deserve. Jasper concludes there is only one woman he wants to
marry, but how can he ask Evangeline to give up a mission in life that
means as much to her as his does to him?
