Ahh, I am so excited I got to read this early! 

Ever since I read "Cinderella and the Duke" I was desperate to know more about both Viola and Huntington...and Lydia made it worth the wait 🥰

Viola has had feelings for Huntington from the moment she met him. Working for his bff means for the last 10 years she's watched and pined...believing there's no way he'll ever see her let alone consider her for marriage. 

Huntington met Viola, the quiet governess, years ago. Viola always seemed so reserved to him and he wondered what she was like when she wasn't attempting to be so proper. Now, still licking his wounds, in the countryside fate forces them to spend time together. The more time Huntington spends with Viola the more he gets little peeks of the fire inside her...and like a moth to a flame...all he wants is to see more. 

Vibes/tropes:
Parent Trap
She falls first but he falls harder
He never notices her...until he does
