A Bride for Belle Haven by Catherine Bilson

Mr. Richard Bell faces an unconventional dilemma. As the guardian of three young girls, each with a unique and scandalous past, Richard struggles to find a governess who will embrace his daughters for who they are. When he visits the Duke Street Orphanage to interview potential candidates and meets Theresa Wilkes, a spirited orphan with a natural affinity for horses, he believes he may have finally found the woman for the job.
Leaving the only home she has ever known, Theresa arrives at Belle Haven, Richard’s idyllic estate in Hampshire. There, she discovers a world of rolling hills, majestic horses, and a family that needs her as much as she needs them. Yet, as she settles into her role, Theresa is faced with challenges that test her resolve and heart.
Through trials and triumphs, love and loss, Theresa and Richard’s lives become intricately intertwined. As they navigate the societal expectations and personal demons that threaten to tear them apart, they must decide if their unconventional family can truly find a place in a world that demands conformity.
