The Governesses Trilogy follows three women in the most romantically precarious of Regency occupations. A governess is educated enough to attract a gentleman’s attention but employed in a role that makes romance socially complicated, and Bailey uses this tension to drive each story.

The trilogy spans a decade of publication, from Prudence in 1992 to Kitty in 2003. Each governess has her own personality and circumstances, but they share the challenge of finding love while maintaining the professional boundaries that their position demands.
