About this ebook

Not even a bluestocking on the verge of scandal could invent a love like this.

When Lady Bridget is riding her newest invention through Hyde Park, the last thing on her mind is love. She has dedicated her life to science and improving the world around her. And she will settle for nothing less than complete freedom to do so, even if she remains unwed.

Arthur, the Duke of Whitewood, can’t help but notice the strange woman on the weird contraption gliding through the park. How improper! How scandalous! How utterly, annoyingly…intriguing. He has to warn her of the danger she’s putting herself into. Little does he know the danger she’s about to put his heart in.

Will Arthur’s arrogance trap him in convention? Or can Bridget break through his rigid beliefs about how to love a lady?

This is the first book in the steamy new regency series, The Ashbourne Legacy, that follows the seven brothers of Snow White.

Ratings and reviews

Good. Too short. There's really no story here, just two orgasms and surrounding circumstances, although these are interesting enough to have a provided solid basis for more explicit development had she wanted. Even though I definitely got a sense of their personalities, I never got to know them. However, it IS well written and it IS enjoyable, so I do recommend it to people who don't mind brevity.

sweet read but too too short!

OK re didn't quite hold my interest but still OK.Read
