  Gambling for the Governess
  
  The Seven Curses of London Series
  
  By Lana Williams
  
  A gamble like no other...
  
  Amelia Tippin might be only a maid at the prestigious Beasley Governess
  Academy, but she knows she’s capable of more. When her Aunt Beasley dies
  before allowing her to attend classes, a desperate Amelia takes a gamble and
  applies for a governess position despite her lack of formal training.
  
  Christopher Easton, Viscount Beaumont, has but one mission—discover what or
  who caused the carriage accident that took both his sister and brother-in-
  law’s lives. Hiring a suitable governess for his niece and nephew who will
  also tolerate his eccentric—if brilliant—father will allow him to venture to
  the dark side of London to find the cause.
  
  With love as the prize.
  
  Christopher is more than intrigued b
