A Lady's Formula for Love
by Everett, Elizabeth
Lady Violet Sterling is a brilliant mathematician who prefers the company of equations to the stifling expectations of Victorian society. When she finds herself in need of protection, she enters into a marriage of convenience with Arthur Kneland, a man who is as ruggedly protective as he is perplexed by her sharp intellect. The story trades traditional ballroom drama for the quiet intensity of a laboratory, focusing on two people who must learn to navigate their mutual attraction while working toward a common goal. Elizabeth Everett writes with a light, humorous touch that balances the heavy weight of historical gender barriers with the genuine warmth of a slow-burn romance. This is an ideal pick for readers who want their love stories to feature heroines who are as intellectually capable as they are emotionally complex.
