A Bewitching Governess - Rice, Patricia

. .

Résumé :
Lady Olivia Malcolm Hargreaves is a viscountess, a widow, a governess, the adoptive mother of a disabled toddler-but above all else, she is a survivor. When the father of the young children she's been caring for arrives on Christmas Eve, drunk and ranting, his aura and her own sad experience tell her he's dangerous. Heart hardened after the murder of his beloved wife, Simon Blair is an industrialist who has no use for another psychic Malcolm. His late wife's weird family is more than enough interference. But his twin daughters are talking to their mother's ghost, his son and heir is floating objects that shouldn't float, and he's beleaguered by aristocrats who refuse to acknowledge his plebeian existence. When Simon learns that Lady Olivia is in a position to help him obtain the land he needs for his business, and she recognizes that by helping him, she might regain the home she's lost, they must fight their respective prejudices and forge an uneasy alliance. It might take a ghost, an army of children, and a criminal gang to force them to recognize that they want far more than real estate.
