Schooling the Viscount

Captain Lord Henry Challoner is a young viscount who's left his ambition on the plains of South Africa. Wounded in the First Boer War, he's come home and wishes he were anywhere else, until his desperate father sends him to Puddling-on-the-Wold to rusticate and recalibrate. How can Henry have any fun without any alcohol, or worse yet, any women? Kept under house arrest under the watchful eye of his draconian housekeeper and earnest local vicar, he's bored enough to begin speaking to sheep until he literally stumbles across schoolteacher Rachel Everett.

Rachel knows she's not on Henry's improvement plan, but can't seem to avoid or repel him no matter what she does to keep him at arm's length. Could it be that she quite enjoys being in his arms, even if it's against all the Puddling Rehabilitation Rules? Can Rachel circumvent the town fathers and Henry escape his personal jailers and demons?
