The Bluestocking's Blunder
(2025)(The tenth book in the Scandalous Miss Brightwell series)
A novel by Beverley Oakley
Catherine Thorneybrook has always preferred ancient texts to society balls.
Headstrong and intellectually curious, she's resigned herself to spinsterhood—until the notorious Brightwell sisters discover she's the secret heir to a vast fortune. Suddenly, Catherine finds herself thrust into London's marriage market with the sisters determined to make her the season's incomparable.
Their chosen target? The dashingly handsome Sir Xavier Harrington, newly returned from the Continent with continental polish and a rakish reputation. But behind his charming smile lies a man with dangerous secrets and a disdain for bluestockings.
Meanwhile, Reverend Thomas Merriweather has spent years attempting to guide Catherine's unruly ways, finding her behavior both vexing and oddly refreshing. When Catherine begins to suspect Sir Xavier's true motives, only the proper vicar seems to understand her concerns. As they work together to rescue rare texts from Sir Xavier's neglected library, Catherine discovers the passionate scholar hidden beneath Thomas's restrained exterior.
With her reputation in jeopardy and her heart pulling her in an unexpected direction, Catherine must navigate society's expectations while staying true to herself. But when scandal erupts, she'll discover whether the path to true love leads through glittering ballrooms or the quiet corners of a vicar's study.
