A Study of Courtship
Lady Sophia Fiennes has sworn off marriage, armed with wit, reason, and Enlightenment philosophy—but the return of the charming and passionate Lord Benedict Montgomery may prove that logic alone cannot guard the heart. In a season ruled by society, whispers of the ton, and royal scrutiny, Sophia must navigate the delicate art of courtship… and perhaps learn that some lessons in love are impossible to study.
