The Governess Brides series is a multi-author project built around a simple, appealing premise: governess heroines who find love while navigating the drawing rooms and estates of Regency England. Originally created by Christina Dodd, the series grew to include contributions from Elizabeth Boyle and spans 12 books published between 1998 and 2015.
Each book stands on its own, with a different governess heroine and a new romantic lead. The shared thread is the profession and the social dynamics it creates. Governesses occupied a unique position in Regency society, too educated and refined for the servants’ quarters but not quite part of the family they served. That built-in tension gives every book in the series natural dramatic stakes before the romance even begins.
