Letitia Reed is an unremarkable woman in many aspects.

but this plan, alas, soon goes horribly awry.
Genevieve is not quite so young as Letitia first believed, and is, instead,
a grown woman: already eighteen years of age.
Genevieve is wilful and impetuous, but impossibly charming, and Letitia soon falls for her.
As time passes, the two women get far closer than a governess and her pupil ought, and then…
