The Governess's Million-Dollar Mission

My brother Leo's medical bills were a crushing weight, pulling us both into a financial black hole.

Then, a lifeline: a contract, presented by a lawyer with a voice dry as old parchment.

My mission for the next year: transform the Kincaid children, Oliver and Chloe, into "presentable" figures for their prestigious annual gala.

The payment was astronomical, the only hope I had to save Leo.

I signed, ready to become the stern governess, Sarah Hayes.

Stepping into the marble-floored entryway of the Long Island mansion, I faced two miniature tyrants.
