Enamored with the Bluestocking (Romances of Intrigue Book 4)

Description

Lady Sarah, daughter to the Earl of Harcastle, has always loved reading, learning all she can about every subject. When her parents discover that their youngest daughter is a bluestocking, they are horrified and immediately ban her from any further reading. Entering society, Sarah is lost in a world where her greatest passion must remain hidden.

When a gentleman causes her an injury and then blames her for it, Sarah quickly resolves to teach the gentleman a lesson. With little mysteries offered to him in exchange for her silence over what he has done, Sarah begins to enjoy the little game she is playing . . . and the company of the gentleman himself.

Matthew, the Marquess of Downfield, has always prided himself on his reputation. When he accidentally injures a young lady, she states that she will tell the ton about his actions unless he answers not one but four of her questions. Seeing that he has no other choice, Matthew reluctantly agrees, only to discover that this young lady is someone truly remarkable.

When the truth about Lady Sarah’s bluestocking ways is revealed to him—and the consequences of what society will think should they discover it—Matthew must make a choice. Will he follow his heart and pursue the lady he has come to love? Or will his reputation and his standing in society pull him away from her for good?
