The brilliant young professor needs a wife. Just not this one.
Cambridge, 1890s, Professor Theo Watt's dazzling career as a naturalist leaves no time for romance, so he reluctantly submits to his mother's matchmaking. After a parade of disappointing candidates, he is unexpectedly captivated by a stranger who ruins her dress to help him rescue a stranded fish.
Ida Moss has long abandoned any hope of marriage. With her past marred by scandal and her days consumed with caring for her nephew, she knows no respectable man would ever claim her. Yet Theo's kindness-and his curiosity-begin to tempt her heart.
In a summer of unexpected encounters, can a fish, a wooden acorn, and a sudden shower of rain bring two unlikely souls together against all social convention?
An Utterly Unsuitable Lady is the witty first book in the Moth Agency Romances series, set around Cambridge's discreet new matchmaking venture-M.O.T.H.: Matters of the Heart. Perfect for readers who adore engaging characters, vivid period settings, and romance rooted in history.
