How to Return a Lady's Slipper
Love is the one mission he never trained for.

Emma wasn't always skittish, but life's hard lessons have made her a professional at avoiding shadows—including her own. As a governess, she's perfected the art of blending into the background, reassuring herself daily that her past won't catch up to her. She's almost convinced herself she's safe, until a certain duke reenters the London scene.

She caught him off guard... in his line of work, that's dangerous.

Hugh has spent years serving the Crown, adhering strictly to every rule—until he meets Emma, whose fear-laden blue eyes stir something entirely new within him. He knows their social stations are worlds apart: a duke and a governess don't mix. But Emma's plight challenges his unwavering adherence to propriety.

Sometimes, the right rule to break is the one you've followed all your life.

Just when Emma thinks she might survive the social season unscathed, she becomes the focal point of the very investigation that brought Hugh home. Facing a dilemma, Hugh does the unthinkable for a man of his stature—he disregards the rules and falls disastrously, hopelessly in love. And as every well-bred duke knows, falling for a governess isn't just scandalous—it's downright revolutionary.

Will love be their greatest defense, or will Emma's past rewrite their future?

From bullets to bouquets, a spy's unexpected romance.

About the Author

USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of the LOVE'S SECOND CHANCE SERIES. Bree Wolf has always been a language enthusiast (though not a grammarian!) and is rarely found without a book in her hand or her fingers glued to a keyboard. Trying to find her way, she has taught English as a second language, traveled abroad and worked at a translation agency as well as a law firm in Ireland. She also spent loooong years obtaining a BA in English and Education and a MA in Specialized Translation while wishing she could simply be a writer. Although there is nothing simple about being a writer, her dreams have finally come true.

"A big thanks to my fairy godmother!"

Currently, Bree has found her new home in the historical romance genre, writing Regency novels and novellas. Enjoying the mix of fact and fiction, she occasionally feels like a puppet master, forcing her characters into ever-new situations that will put their strength, their beliefs, their love to the test, hoping that in the end they will triumph and get the happily-ever-after we are all looking for.
