"You are defacing a masterpiece, Madam." "No, sir, I am correcting a mediocrity. If you wish to protect your Greek from my quill, I suggest you learn to translate it properly first."
When Miss Rosalind Ashby is caught correcting a prestigious scholar's errors in the Earl of Radley's library, she expects a scandal. Instead, she is drawn into a clandestine intellectual alliance with the Earl's cynical younger brother, Benedict Marlowe.
She is the Invisible Bluestocking with a mind sharper than her embroidery needle. He is the Disinherited Scholar, a second son hiding his brilliance behind a mask of aristocratic indifference.
Amidst the scent of aging vellum and flickering candlelight, their sharp-witted insults melt into a heated partnership. Every shared translation and accidental brush of fingers in the narrow, dust-filled aisles turns their academic rivalry into a dangerous, pulse-pounding attraction.
"I care nothing for the acclaim of the ton, Benedict. I only care that for the first time in my life, I am finally being heard."
To expose a prominent academic fraud, they must risk their fragile reputations and defy the rigid logic of the Regency era. But as the Midsummer Ball approaches, they realize the greatest danger isn't losing their status-it's losing the only person who truly speaks their language.
Perfect for fans of Evie Dunmore and Bridgerton who crave high-stakes wit, forced proximity, and a slow-burn romance that proves logic is no match for the heart. Click "Buy Now" to enter the library of Radley Manor today
