A bluestocking enlists a faux suitor to help her land an ideal husband only to be blindsided by real desire…

Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society matches. But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad, Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Her solution: to “build” the perfect man, who will court her publicly and help her catch his eye. Grace’s colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank slate she requires.

To further his own research on English society, Sebastian agrees to let Grace transform him from a bespectacled, bookish academic into a dashing—albeit fake—rake. Between secret lessons on how to be a rogue and exaggerated public flirtations, Grace’s feelings for Sebastian grow from friendship into undeniable, inconvenient, real attraction. If only she hadn’t asked him to help her marry someone else…

Sebastian is in love with brilliant, beautiful Grace, but their bargain is complete, and she desires another. Yet when he’s faced with losing her forever, Sebastian will do whatever it takes to tell her the truth, even if it means risking his own future—and his heart.

“Listeners will delight in Zara Hampton-Brown’s rousing and humorous performance, which fully embraces the high jinks that ensue in this romance. Lady Grace, a devoted scientist, transforms her colleague, Sebastian Holloway, into a notorious suitor to draw the attention of another man. When the socially awkward pair enlist the help of a revered duke, Hampton-Brown doesn’t miss a comic beat as the trio build the perfect rake. Hampton-Brown also exudes the joy and passion the two scientists have for their fields of study, which only intensify as the slowly simmering feelings they begin to form for each other derail their plan. The scheme helps Sebastian manage his social anxiety, a trait that provides Hampton-Brown an outlet for a more subtle and reflective performance, balancing out the boundless energy of this friends-to-lovers romance.” J.E.C. � AudioFile 2020,
