The Governess Was Wanton (2016) and The Governess Was Wild (2016) are a pair of Regency-set romance novellas. Each follows a governess who finds herself drawn into an unexpected relationship with the man of the house. The novellas are short, focused on the romantic tension between their leads, and set against the conventions and constraints of Regency-era England.

The two books were published early in Julia Kelly’s career, during the same period as her One Week in Love anthologies and the Matchmaker of Edinburgh series. They reflect the romance-first approach of her earlier work, before she shifted to the longer, more research-driven historical novels that brought her a wider readership.
