Mary Poppins meets My Fair Lady in a feel-good blend of cozy fantasy magic, historical romance, humor, and Victorian era charm, as a recent graduate of the Parasol Academy for Exceptional Nannies and Governesses finds herself at sea on a ship commanded by a captivating Irishman. For readers of India Holton, Heather Fawcett, Allison Saft, Katherine Arden, Freya Marske, and Olivia Atwater's Regency Faerie Tales series. Hermina Davenport can hardly believe the audacious exploit she is about to attempt. To protect an orphaned young viscount, the prim and proper governess feels she has no choice but to break the rules of the Parasol Academy Handbook! When the lad's guardian, a ruthlessly ambitious explorer, ensorcelled by the evil Fae Queen, spirits him away on a dangerous North Pole expedition, Mina employs an invisibility spell to snatch him from the ship. But a magical misfire whisks Mina and her charge onto a different vessel, that of a ruggedly handsome Irishman-a strapping prizefighter from Dublin's backstreets-and Mina finds she's at sea in more ways than one . . . Phineas O'Connell, Lord Kinsale, can no more explain the arrival of this English Rose than he can adapt to his newly-inherited title-though his disgruntled pet pug clearly has ""thoughts"" about the fair stowaway. But their enchanted encounter sparks an irresistible offer- Phinn enlists the polished Miss Davenport to transform this misfit marquess into a mannered gentleman ready for his seat in Parliament. No magic required, just enticingly intimate lessons in etiquette and elocution to smooth all his rough edges including a stammer. . . But when enemies-both earthly and supernatural, past and present-threaten, a confrontation begins, where Mina's nondescript umbrella is just one of her powerful weapons . . .

Praise for Amy Rose Bennett: “A whimsical, wonderfully romantic treasure trove of laugh-out-loud delights with a spirited heroine who proves a worthy successor indeed to Mary Poppins. I had such a fabulous time reading this book!” —India Holton, USA Today bestselling author on The Nanny’s Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes ""A clever and sensual page-turner that is magical from start to finish."" —Minerva Spencer, award-winning author of The Bellamy Sisters on The Nanny’s Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes ""A dizzyingly charming romance with a dash of mystery, a dollop of magic, and an enormous amount of heart. Whimsical, sexy, and utterly delightful!"" —Alexandra Vasti, USA Today bestselling author of Ne'er Duke Well on The Nanny’s Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes ""An enchanting, whimsical delight! Readers will be charmed by the winsome cast of characters, witty banter, and deep emotions."" —Liana De la Rosa, USA Today bestselling author on The Nanny’s Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes “Amy Rose Bennet makes a graceful pirouette toward romantic fantasy and sticks the landing. This Mary Poppins-inspired romance brims with wit and whimsy but never scrimps on emotional depth and sensuality. I loved Xavier and Emmeline and the whole cast of zany characters, and I can’t wait until our next visit to the Parasol Academy!” —Susanna Craig, author of The Lady Makes Her Mark “Bursting at the seams with delicious drama and tropes, and the solid central couple and well-crafted prose will satisfy choice historical romance readers.” —Library Journal on Up All Night with a Good Duke “A delightful Regency romance infused with heat, energy and glamour. Bennett effortlessly captures the ingredients that make Regency romance so compelling to readers: sparkling dialogue, passion, and the elegant ballroom manners that mask the danger and risks that lie just beneath the surface.” —Amanda Quick, New York Times bestselling author on How to Catch a Wicked Viscount “Stellar… Bennett makes the Regency historical seem fresh and new through her vividly rendered settings, which display her impeccable command of the glittering world of the ton; her perfectly matched protagonists, whose potent sexual chemistry evolves into sizzling love scenes; and her expertly graceful, tartly witty writing.” —Booklist (starred review) on How to Catch a Wicked Viscount “A bit of escapism, an enchanting heroine, a dashing hero and the possibility of more …what else could we ask for?” —Fangirlish on Up All Night with a Good Duke ""Charming...Readers will cheer on this well-matched couple."" ―Publishers Weekly on Curled Up with the Earl “Kind hearted protagonists and a tender, though quite steamy, romance make this a solid entry in the (not quite-so) disreputable debutantes saga” —Library Journal on How to Catch a Sinful Marquess
