A fallen lady must rise above her disgrace.

A lady with limited options. A gentleman left without a choice. Could two souls forced together find it in their hearts to forgive one another?

Vivian Wescott was once a debutante who won the affection of the most sought-after bachelor in London. However, her family's fall from grace forced her into a life of servitude. With what remained of her pride, Vivian eagerly arrived in Scotland to begin her position as a governess. Only to discover her new employer was her ex-betrothed. A gentleman who had thrown her over, yet still held her heart within his grasp. Could Vivian ever forgive how he had abandoned her when she needed him the most?

Maximilian Courtland led his life following the demands of a strict society. However, chaos had descended on his life. The bitter ending to his betrothal didn't compare to the heartache of losing his cousin. Now pressed with raising two young children, he must rely on the governess his sister hired. Not any governess, but the very lady who betrayed him. Would Max discover the truth of Vivian's love before it was too late?

Max ended their betrothal because of a rumor. He now protects Vivian from another rumor that would destroy her reputation. Would the truth ever prevail? Or would the lies forever keep them apart?

The Fallen Governess is the first book in Laura A. Barnes's False Rumors series. If you love second chance romances, then you'll love how Vivian and Maximilian overcome the deceit of others with the strength of their love.
