Synopsis

When her student goes missing, an independent bluestocking must seek the help of the arrogant duke who spurned her in this sizzling tale of romance that has "sparkling banter, gentle mystery, and plenty of swoonworthy moments"—for fans of Netflix's Bridgerton series (Publishers Weekly).

Phoebe Atkinson is what society might call unconventional. Instead of marrying well like other women born to wealth, she chose to be a schoolteacher. Not to mention she lives in a leaky flat in an unfashionable part of town rather than stay in her parents’ mansion. But when her most promising pupil goes missing she has only one option: beg her sister’s best friend, the powerful Duke of Ellis, for help. 

The last thing William Margrave ever expected was to inherit a dukedom. But now that he has it, he’s determined to act the part perfectly—and that includes marrying the perfect duchess. A bluestocking Bohemian schoolteacher is decidedly not duchess material. But he can’t resist her plea for help regarding her missing student. 

As they fall further into the mystery, William discovers that he never got over his childhood crush on Phoebe...

A “rising historical romance star.” –Booklist, starred review

This was a really enjoyable historical romance. It read fresh and engaging to me. I have had trouble reading lately and really appreciated how easy to read this book was to me.

Emily Sullivan has such a great writing style, very sharp and precisely constructed, that gives you a solid feeling of the time period while also feeling very approachable. I loved the premise of this one, best friend's sister, heroine with a job (a teacher to working class girls) during the Victori......more
