Love Works Wonders: A Novel

In a genteel New York neighborhood, Madame Selini runs a discreet intelligence office that has become a trusted resource for the city’s aristocracy. When the aristocratic Sir Oswald Darrell steps through her doors, he brings a delicate, personal dilemma: his niece, a spirited and untamed young woman, has been left without proper guidance. Selini swiftly proposes her most accomplished candidate, Miss Agnes Hastings, a refined former governess whose poise and experience have earned her a reputation among the elite.

Miss Hastings arrives with quiet dignity, immediately sensing the urgency behind Sir Oswald’s plea. The encounter sets the stage for a nuanced dance of duty, temperament, and hidden affection as the governess prepares to tame the “savage vine” of the niece’s nature. Their intertwined fates promise a captivating exploration of how love, patience, and a touch of elegance can reshape even the most wayward hearts.
