Seducing the Scientist (The Restitution League) Cole, Riley

A woman who disdains love collides with a man who lives for passion. Explosions ensue. 
Ada Templeton believes in science. She believes in chemical reactions and experimentation and old-fashioned common sense. She’s far too clever to be seduced by a rake like Edison Sweet.
Con artist, liar, and self-taught inventor, Edison Sweet, uses his hard won skills to help the less fortunate. 
Over Ada’s objections, he agrees to guard her latest invention from a mastermind willing to kill for it. He never expects to be intrigued by the lovely widow whose body he finds as exciting as her mind.
Their chemistry is impossible to ignore. 
And impossible to trust.
Stalked by a brilliant killer, will they have time to test whether the chemistry of love can mend two broken hearts? 

—Meet The Restitution League—
Thieves, rogues, and well-armed adventuresses, the crew of the Restitution League fights injustice while wrestling with love and desire—and the occasional throwing knife—one romance at a time.
