The start of a critically acclaimed historical romance series by New York Times bestselling author Courtney Milan... Hugo Marshall earned the nickname "the Wolf of Clermont" for his ruthless ambition--a characteristic that has served him well, elevating the coal miner's son to the right hand man of a duke. When he's ordered to get rid of a pestering governess by fair means or foul, it's just another day at work. But after everything Miss Serena Barton has been through at the hands of his employer, she is determined to make him pay. She won't let anyone stop her--not even the man that all of London fears. They might call Hugo Marshall the Wolf of Clermont, but even wolves can be brought to heel... The books in the Brothers Sinister series: ½. The Governess Affair (free prequel novella) 1.

Reviews with the most likes.
4.5 stars. It takes great skill to write a good novella. Many novellas seem rushed and had a threadbare plot. Not this one. I really love both the hero and heroine, and to be honest, I would've loved to read a full-fledged novel of their story.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Typically, I wish novellas were longer because they feel rushed - either in characterization or plot-wise. But despite the shortness, this one didn't feel too rushed. I wish it was longer because I genuinely liked the characters.
