"Lady Marisa has gone undercover as a governess to the Duke of Milverley's Daughter. She believes she has found the perfect source for the information she needs. She hopes to write an scandalous, gossipy book that will set society on it's ear, and believes that the Duke's houshold will provide all the background information she needs.
