      Daddy Lessonse

      Arthur, Lord Trelawney, is an expert at carrying coded messages for the government—and a complete amateur in caring for children. Before courting a widowed acquaintance with two babies, he decides to practice with the rescued orphans sheltering at his family estate. A practical idea…until he meets their lovely nurse.

      Maris Oliver is drawn to the principled, handsome nobleman, even if he’s expected to woo another woman. Both have secrets that threaten their safety and their fragile trust. But if Maris’s sweet charges have their way, Arthur won’t need to venture beyond his own front door to find a woman he’ll risk all to protect and love.

      “Must you always obey the canons of Society?”

      “I don’t understand.”

      “You are always polite to the point it can become aggravating.”

      Her eyes widened. “Would you have me be otherwise?”

      “At times, yes! The ton did not collapse when the children began to address me as Arthur. It feels absurd when you continue to call me ‘my lord.’ Why don’t you do as they do?”

      “They are children. They are excused from making such a faux pas.”

      “How can it be a faux pas if I ask you to address me so?”

      Maris had no quick answer to give him. To let his name form on her lips… If other servants or members of his family heard, would they be as accepting as they were with the children?

      As if she had aired her thoughts aloud, he said, “It would be only when we’re with the children or when we are having a conversation like tonight. Could we at least try tonight?”

      “Yes.”

      He raised a single brow.

      “Yes, Arthur,” she said with a faint smile. How sweet his name tasted on her lips!
