Inventing the Viscount
(2020)(The second book in the Bluestocking Scandals series)
A novel by Ellie St. Clair
She’s never met a problem she can’t fix...
Lady Fredericka Ashworth observes the world around her with the intention of making it better. Blessed with a gift of tinkering and the skills of designing and woodworking, she has thought of everything from an easier way to cook eggs to candlesticks that allow for a longer burn. All she wants for her own life is to continue the work that has become so important to her. The only problem? She needs a husband. Her solution -- to find one who will provide for her and will otherwise leave her alone. But where to find such a man?
He hides a secret none can ever know...
Lord Miles Luxington is cold, standoffish, and unfriendly -- or so everyone thinks. The truth is, his cold exterior has hidden his affliction for the entirety of his life. If the secret was ever revealed, his father would follow through on his threats to ensure the bloodline remained unsullied. All Miles has ever wished for is to be accepted for who he is -- yet he fears such a possibility might never come to be.
A marriage of convenience...
When Freddie reconnects with her childhood acquaintance, he seems to be exactly the man she is looking for. When she proposes a courtship, Miles is hesitant at first, until he finds that he can no longer hold himself back from the woman he has admired since childhood.
With secrets and a desire for more hanging between them, will marriage to one another become a life of regret, or one of love greater than either of them could ever have imagined?
For readers over 18, due to some steamy scenes.
Genre: Historical Romance
