The Blighter and the Bluestocking by Eliana Piers

She’s caught under the desk with his…legs…in her face. Lady Bridget was only there to steal her papers back, not to see the hot duke. Again. Besides, he’s not that hot. He’s cocky. Far too arrogant and proper for a scandal-tempting scientist like herself. But tell that to her hands that can’t seem to stop themselves from touching him. Arthur, the Duke of Whitewood, is the protector. The responsible one. He has six brothers and a little sister to care for, so he doesn’t need to add a rebellious scientist to the mix. But when she takes her society-defying one step too far, he has to shove her under his desk to protect her reputation. Only, that doesn’t stop her from experimenting on his...leg. Will he just be another test subject for her? Or will this experiment create an irreversible reaction resulting in love? The Blighter and the Bluestocking is a standalone steamy regency romance—heavy on the romance, light on the regency. If you like hopeless romantics and silly antics with a “Bridgerton” meets “Hallmark” vibe, you’ll fall into love and laughter with this quick read.
