A PopSugar and BookBub Most Anticipated Romance of 2022!
How do you solve the Perfect Equation? Add one sharp-tongued mathematician to an aloof, handsome nobleman. Divide by conflicting loyalties and multiply by a daring group of women hell-bent on conducting their scientific experiments. The solution is a romance that will break every rule.
Six years ago, Miss Letitia Fenley made a mistake, and she’s lived with the consequences ever since. Readying herself to compete for the prestigious Rosewood Prize for Mathematics, she is suddenly asked to take on another responsibility—managing Athena’s Retreat, a secret haven for England’s women scientists. Having spent the last six years on her own, Letty doesn’t want the offers of friendship from other club members and certainly doesn’t need any help from the insufferably attractive Lord Greycliff.
Lord William Hughes, the Viscount Greycliff cannot afford to make any mistakes. His lifelong dream of becoming the director of a powerful clandestine agency is within his grasp. Tasked with helping Letty safeguard Athena’s Retreat, Grey is positive that he can control the antics of the various scientists as well as manage the tiny mathematician—despite their historic animosity and simmering tension.
As Grey and Letty are forced to work together, their mutual dislike turns to admiration and eventually to something...magnetic. When faced with the possibility that Athena’s Retreat will close forever, they must make a choice. Will Grey turn down a chance to change history, or can Letty get to the root of the problem and prove that love is the ultimate answer?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Everett's enchanting sequel to A Lady's Formula for Love finds mathematician Leticia "Letty" Fenley reluctantly agreeing to oversee Athena's Retreat, a secret haven for Victorian England's female scientists, but her good intentions are soured by the unwanted help of a troublesome viscount. Letty was ostracized by Lord William Hughes, Viscount Greycliff, as well as the rest of high society when she was caught in a compromising position with his cousin. But now that they're working closely to safeguard Athena's Retreat, Greycliff realizes he's misjudged Letty, coming to see the softness beneath her resilient exterior and falling for her sharp wit and unyielding determination. Letty, in turn, breaks down Greycliff's walls, discovering gentility, empathy toward others, and curiosity about the work being done by the women of Athena's Retreat. The pair's tentative truce leads to some tender and steamy moments—the latter of which, while tantalizing, can feel a bit too abrupt—but their conflicting goals plus Greycliff's godfather's objections to their match may mean an end to their happily ever after. The supporting cast of brilliant but bumbling scientists adds some levity, and the characters' intense chemistry keeps the pages flying. This is a winner.
