There's a new governess at Fairmont House, and she's going to be nothing but trouble.Emily Laurence is a liar. She is not polite, she's not polished, and she has never taught a child in her life. This position was meant to be her sister's - brilliant, kind Amy, who isn't perpetually angry, dangerously reckless, and who does (inexplicably) like children.But Amy is unwell and needs a doctor, their father is gone and their mother is useless, so here Emily is, pretending to be something she's not.If she can get away with her deception for long enough to earn a few months' wages and slip some expensive trinkets into her pockets along the way, perhaps they'll be all right.That is, as long as she doesn't get involved with the Edwards family's dramas. Emily refuses to care about her charges - Grace, who talks too much and loves too hard, and Aster, who is frankly terrifying but might just be the wittiest sixteen-year-old Emily has ever met - or the servants, who insist on acting as if they're each other's family. And she certainly hasn't noticed her employer, the brooding, taciturn Captain Edwards, no matter how good he might look without a shirt on . . .As Fairmont House draws her in, Emily's lies start to come undone. Can she fix her mistakes before it's too late?Praise for Lex Croucher:'Bridgerton's wild little sister. So much fun!' Sarra Manning'Witty, whip-smart and full of characters I totally fell for.

Kung Artur-ättling i queer, medeltida romantisk komedi
»Gwen och Art är inte kära är en härlig och underhållande bok full av kärlek och vänskap, som lämnar läsaren med ett värmande budskap om att stå upp för det man tror på och att det är okej att vara den man är.« Betyg: 5 av 5 - Betty Andersson, BTJ
»Gwen och Art är inte kära är så söt att man nästan får hål i tänderna, och jag rekommenderar alla att läsa den. Och, det är inte bara sött och gulligt, det är politik, blod, tornerspel och svek.« Once Upon a Tea
»Genuint rolig. Gwen och Art är kanske inte kära i varandra, men jag föll för dem båda.« Rainbow Rowell, författaren bakom Eleanor & Park och Fangirl.
Flera hundra år har gått sedan kung Artur regerade. Hans ättling Arthur - en framtida lord och allmän vivör och livsnjutare - har sedan födseln varit trolovad med Gwendoline, den kvicktänkta och eldiga prinsessan av England. Det enda Arthur och Gwendoline är överens om är att de avskyr varandra. Under upptakten till bröllopet tvingas de tillbringa en sommar tillsammans på slottet Camelot. Inom tjugofyra timmar har Gwen kommit på Arthur med att kyssa en kille och Arthur har i Gwens dagbok läst om hennes förälskelse i kungarikets enda kvinnliga riddare, Bridget Leclair. Gwen och Art inser att de nog har bättre chanser som allierade än fiender, och ingår en motvillig pakt för att täcka upp för varandra. I översättning av Emilia Fjeld.
