Thirteen years ago, Clara Lumley's heart shattered as her betrothal came to an end. All she wanted to do was take care of her ill sisters. Now, the sole provider for family, she is a jaded teacher at a boarding school for daughters of the gentry. All thoughts of romance died years ago... Stephen Clifford's world tilted out of control when his father was stripped of his title and accused of wrong doing as Governor General of India. If that wasn't enough, his betrothed ended their engagement over the matter. Rather than sit and wallow in England, he packed up for India, intent on proving his father's innocence and forgetting the charming ways of Clara Lumley. Now, Stephen is back on English soil determined to do his duty as the new Lord Clifford, which includes funding a girl's school. He never expected to see Clara again, let alone as a teacher of the school for which he is the patron. In the style of Jane Austen, Julie Klassen, and Sarah E. Ladd, The Teacher at Orchard Hall begins a Christian Historical Romance series set in the Regency Era.
