Fidele — Jenna Lynn Brown

"There's a time-honored tradition of governesses falling for the guardians of their pupils." "I'm not Jane Eyre," I replied.

Slow-burn, Gothic, m/m romance set in a haunted Louisiana mansion in the early 1950s. The main characters are both WWII vets in their 30s; Malcolm Carmichael is an artist and private tutor to Noel Thibodeaux's young traumatized nephew. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, even though the cover doesn't really suit the story at all.
