From a New York Times bestselling author and her daughter!
England, 1673: Lady Violet Ashcroft grew up sheltered in the countryside, far from the dashing gentlemen of the court—and that's how she likes it. Here on her family's beautiful, quiet estate, she needn't fight off suitors who are only after her sizable inheritance, or play second fiddle to her prettier younger sisters. Love and marriage aren't for everyone, and sensible Violet would rather spend her days improving her mind than risking her heart. Until a rather dashing gentleman shows up next door...
Ford Chase, Viscount Lakefield, has had it with women. Who's got time for them, anyway, when there's important work to be done? Fresh out of Oxford, Ford is ready to devise his first world-changing invention. All he needs is some peace and quiet on his neglected country estate, where there is no family to nag him and, most especially, no women to distract him—until he's thrown into the company of the intriguing Lady Violet...
