The Bold Bluestocking

A house party designed for matchmaking. A cursed earl who has sworn off love. And a practical Virgo who refuses to let anything stand in the way of the truth.
Miss Ana Barstow is a young lady of logic. As a Virgo, she prefers the orderly world of science to the chaotic whirl of a London ballroom. When her mother takes her to a country house party, Ana’s only goal is to find a quiet corner of the library to read. She certainly has no interest in her mother’s increasingly desperate attempts to see her married off.
Patrick, the Earl of Foxworthy, is a man haunted by his past. Having lost two wives to accidents, he is convinced he carries a curse that kills anyone he dares to love. He has vowed to remain unwed. But he hasn't accounted for the fascinating Miss Barstow—or her refusal to believe in anything as unscientific as a curse.
As Ana investigates, the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous things become.
Can Ana use her intelligence to unmask a murderer before she becomes the next victim? And can she convince a stubborn earl that the only thing more powerful than a curse is a love that is written in the stars?

If you love spirited bluestockings, brooding heroes, and a dash of Regency-era mystery, you won’t want to miss this tale of science, scandal, and second chances.
