The Hollywood Governess

A BRAND NEW sweeping historical romance set in the golden age of Hollywood from Alexandra Weston. A governess bound by her own strict rules, a movie-star tormented by grief, a forbidden love story you won't forget. Hollywood, 1937 Hester Carlye has no wish to look after the pampered offspring of the rich anymore, in spite of being a highly sought-after governess. But with her elderly father frail, and the roof of their rundown cottage falling in, she has no choice but to accept a dazzling new placement. Movie star Aidan Neil is box office gold, but after the tragic death of his wife Dinah Doyle, he needs Hester's help to raise their young daughter Erin. Aidan and Dinah were once the perfect Hollywood couple, but stars don't shine forever... At Aidan's glittering Hollywood mansion, Hester finds a family struggling with their grief. Hester knows she can help little Erin, but Aidan's torment is palpable. Brooding and reclusive, he is far from the picture-perfect hero Hester's seen in films. There's an edge to him that makes Hester wonder if he's hiding a dark secret of his own.... Was the marriage between Aidan and Dinah as perfect as it appeared to be? Was Dinah's death really a tragic accident? When it finally comes, the truth is more shocking than Hester could ever have imagined. And she knows that if revealed, it will destroy the family she has grown to love and ruin Aidan's Hollywood dream forever... A sweeping new story from a talented new voice.
