Book Description
Caroline was devoted to her small charge, Richard de Fonteira, and could not understand how his mother could be so heartless as to hand himover, on her second marriage, to his father's family to bring him up; and she determined to do her best to givehim the love and attention his mother had denied him. All the same, she was more than a little aprehensive about meeting Richard's very grand-sounding uncle-a Portuguese marques sounded somehow even more imposing than an English marquis! The Marques de Fonteira, however, turned out to be perfectly charming. It was his man of affairs, Vasco Duarte de Capuchos, who was the fly in the ointment. He was not sure Richard needed a governess at all, let alone such a young one as Caroline. Then why was it suddenly so important that Caroline should prove him wrong?
