title: The Most Unsuitable Wife: The Kincaid's (Zebra Ballad Romance)
author:  Caroline Clemmons 
description: The kernel of this story came from a story my grandmother mentioned about a girl who lived where Grandmother was born. I don't know what happened to the girl in real life, but I wanted her story to have a happy ending--so I wrote one for her. I hope you enjoy Pearl's story.

  Katherine Sanderson has just accepted the position of governess to the
  illegitimate infant daughter of the Earl of Montcrief. Though Katherine
  disdains the Earl's selfish arrogance, she finds herself attracted to him. And
  Katherine tempts the Earl as no other woman has. When he devises a scandalous
  scheme for conquest, Katherine not only accepts his outrageous proposal, she
  astonishes him with a passion that exceeds his own.

  A little story about the book you’re about to read.
  
  In 1989, I lost two people I loved a great deal – my mother, who died young
  and unexpectedly, and the love of my life, a man who proved to me that there
  could be a “one and only”.
  
  Those two losses taught me something very important about life – it’s fragile
  and delicate and something we should never take for granted. There may never
  be “tomorrow”
