Description
In the first installment of a Regency romp of a series, a governess who believes in cultivating joy in her charges clashes with the children's uncle who hired her, only to find herself falling in love.
When Harry Kincaid's flighty older sister decides to join her husband on an Egyptian expedition, Harry, a former naval captain, is left in the lurch, minding her three unruly children and giant, mad dog. But Harry has a busy career at the Admiralty that requires all his attention, and he has no clue how to manage the little rascals or when his sister is coming back. In desperation, he goes to Miss Prentice's School for Young Ladies prepared to pay whatever it takes to hire an emergency governess quick sharp to ensure everything in his formerly ordered house is run shipshape again. Thanks to her miserable, strict upbringing, fledgling governess Georgie Rowe does not subscribe to the ethos that children should be seen and not heard. She believes childhood should be everything hers wasn't--filled with laughter, adventure, and discovery. Thankfully, the three Pendleton children she has been tasked with looking after are already delightfully bohemian and instantly embrace her unconventional educational approach. Their staid, stickler-for-the-rules uncle, however, is another matter entirely. Georgie and Harry continue to butt heads over their differences, but with time it seems that in this case, their attraction is undeniable--and all is indeed fair in love and war.
About the Author
About the Author
When Virginia Heath was a little girl, it took her ages to fall asleep, so she made up stories in her head to help pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories became more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace the insomnia and start writing them down. Now her Regency rom-coms (including the Wild Warriners and Merriwell Sisters series) are published in many languages across the globe. Thirty books and three Romantic Novel of the Year Award nominations later, it still takes her forever to fall asleep.

Critical Reviews
"An enjoyable new Regency series."
-Library Journal
-Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author "A thoroughly charming slow-burn romance between a fastidious captain and a feisty governess, accompanied by a trio of rambunctious children and one willful pup. A delightful read!"
- Amalie Howard, USA Today bestselling author of Never Met a Duke Like You "Readers never tire of a down-on-her-luck heroine and a hero who needs to lighten up, and Heath provides both in this entertaining romp along with puckish children, busybody servants and mischievous dogs."
- BookPage "A really fun rom-com, that hits all the right notes."
- Red Carpet Crash
"All's Fair in Love and War is a truly delightful tale of two very opposite people who both learn a little bit about each other's needs and wants. And the children bring quite a bit of fun into the story with their own different backgrounds. A totally entertaining romp ensues."
- Romance Reviews Today "All's Fair in Love and War made me absolutely excited to see what's up next for this group of enterprising young women - which is the best compliment I can give any romance series."
