Vying for the Inventor's Affections
(2024)(A book in the Love and Calculations series)
A novel by Parker J Cole
Olive 'Ollie' Winthorpe is the epitome of grace and propriety, the cherished daughter of a wealthy industrialist. Her life is a series of expected engagements and elegant soirées, yet beneath her pampered exterior lies a yearning for something—or someone—utterly unconventional.
Gregory Fairmount, the quirky and brilliant son of a prominent banker, is consumed by his passion for innovation. In the chaos of his workshop, amidst gears and blueprints, he dreams of crafting the blades for what could become the world's first flying machine. His obsession with this groundbreaking invention keeps him blissfully unaware of the societal expectations that surround him -- or the woman who wishes to have his love for her very own.
While their friendship is no secret, it increasingly becomes the subject of gossip and disapproval among Ollie’s refined social circle. Likewise, Gregory faces immense pressure from his family to abandon his inventive pursuits and take up the mantle of banking—a destiny he is determined to avoid at all costs.
Amidst the whirlwind of societal expectations and technological ambitions, Ollie finds herself facing a complex dilemma. She knows her heart belongs to Gregory, but how can she capture the attention of a man so engrossed in his work that everything else seems trivial, even love? Will Ollie find the proper equation to ignite a spark of romance in Gregory's methodical heart, or will the pressures of their very different worlds force them apart?
