THE CONUNDRUM OF A CLERK
By: Linda Rae Sande
The Plot:
When the headmistress of Lon-
don’s premiere finishing school dies,
her son, Theodore Streater, is desper-
ate to find a replacement. He’s a bank
clerk and has no idea how to run a
girl’s school. So, when Daisy Albright
appears to apply for the position, he
hires her on the spot—even though he
would rather hire her as his mistress.
Left with only one arm from the last
war, Teddy would prefer to take a
wife, but who will marry a one-armed
man? A former spy, Daisy has a secret
she’d rather her employer not know, especially as she grows
more fond of him. When she discovers what Mrs. Streator had
already arranged on behalf of the school, though, her future
employment and the fate of the school will be at risk.
An Excerpt
“Lady Bostwick believes I could be headmistress of War-
wick’s.”
James set down his coffee cup, the fine china clattering a bit
as his brows furrowed. He had wondered why the Bostwicks had
paid the call the day before. He had intended to ask, but the de-
light in her eyes at meeting her younger brother had him thinking
instead of how happy he was the two had finally met.
And then, when Helen had given up her hold on Rose so
that Daisy could hold the babe, he had fought back tears. The
expression of joy on his eldest daughter’s face as Rose opened
her eyes and smiled would stay in his memory for the rest of his
days. Surely some sense of maternal longing would settle in her
breast. Some desire to marry and have one of her own.
He need only find a man worthy of her. He rather doubted
she would manage it on her own.
