Somerset, England, 1808. Alice Hapgood is obsessed with studying flora and fauna. With upper-class standards taking a dim view of a lady dirtying her hands, the science-minded woman wears boys’ clothing to pursue her passion. And when an assistant position for a handsome member of the Royal Society crops up, she impulsively dons her disguise and risks ruin.
Joseph Tierney has no desire to join the clergy. Going against his family’s wishes to become a researcher of the natural world, he takes on a bright young man to help with his latest assignment. And while the brilliant scientist is frustrated that the locals only see him as a candidate for marriage, he grows closer and closer with his enthusiastic aide.
As the work under her charming mentor unexpectedly sparks her feminine side, Alice longs to open up to him as her true self. But Joseph suddenly finds himself caught in a jealous triangle not of his making that threatens his career, standing, and freedom.
Will this unlikely team’s greatest discovery be happily ever after?

Clean Regency romance author Christina Dudley's books have been called "enchanting," "sparkling" and "swoon-worthy" by reviewers like Austenprose and Austenesque Reviews. Her award-winning series The Hapgoods of Bramleigh contains six books: The Naturalist, A Very Plain Young Man, School for Love, Matchless Margaret, The Purloined Portrait, and A Fickle Fortune. Watch for her next series The Ellsworth Assortment in later 2022!
Dudley also wrote The Beresfords, a modern retelling of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, which the Seattle Times praised as "ingenious and entertaining," and of which Austenprose's Lisa Galek declared, "I would rank The Beresfords with some of the best Austen updates I've ever read or seen."
