Description
A sharp-witted young man from Cambridge takes up a live-in position as tutor to the son of a wealthy lord. His goal is to secure patronage and become a vicar, allowing him to pursue his intellectual interests in relative comfort. However, he soon finds himself at odds with Lady Sarah Danneville, who believes she should be tutoring her younger brother instead. As their rivalry intensifies, Mr. Donovan reveals a secret hobby that challenges Lady Sarah's perceptions of him. Meanwhile, she must navigate the complexities of family expectations and her own desires for independence. A battle of wits ensues, with neither side willing to concede. This engaging historical romance explores the tensions between intellect, social status, and personal identity in 19th-century England.
