The Unlikely Lady by Valerie Bowman
Miss Jane Lowndes is a confirmed bluestocking. She's convinced that if she can wait out her parents' demand that she marry, someday she can be a confirmed spinster and hold intellectual salons, her fondest dream. No man wants a bluestocking for a wife after all. And that's exactly the way Jane likes it. In fact, she'd invented a fictitious chaperone to help her achieve that purpose. Lord Garrett Upton is a devil-may-care confirmed bachelor. He's lived through the war and now that he's back in London, he intends to enjoy life to the fullest. Marriage is certainly not a part of that plan. He's known Miss Lowndes for years and the two of them have long engaged in war of words. Jane's latest scheme to pretend she has a fake chaperone is none of his business...until her desire to involve herself in a scandal becomes all too personal. When Garrett and Jane mistakenly kiss at a wedding party masquerade, their well-documented dislike for each other is turned on its ear. And when a devious widow who will stop at nothing to have Garrett plots to keep them apart, will their desire for each other overcome their dreams of remaining unattached?Valerie Bowman was raised in Illinois with six sisters (she's the seventh) and an abundance of historical romance novels. She relocated to Florida the first chance she had after a frigid and snowy stay at Smith College, where she earned a degree in English with a minor in history. Valerie now resides in Jacksonville with her family, including Huckleberry and Violet, her mini-schnauzers. When she's not writing, she may be found reading, traveling, or watching a mix of reality TV and PBS.
