What to expect
Professor Theo Watt needs a suitable wife, or so his mother believes. His dazzling career as a naturalist leaves no time to find one, so he grudgingly defers to her matchmaking. Amidst a string of disappointing candidates, he unexpectedly finds himself charmed by a passing young woman who sacrifices her pretty dress to join him in the muddy rescue of a fish.
Slow to trust, Ida Moss hides the scandal that has blighted her past. She has long since abandoned all hope of her own happiness, caring for her nephew and scraping the barest of livings. Once he knows her secret, any gentleman with a reputation to uphold will, she assumes, condemn and avoid her.
Can a balmy summer in a beautiful university city, a fish, a wooden acorn and a sudden shower of rain work the magic that will encourage this unlikely pair to face down social convention and find a future in each other's arms?
An Utterly Unsuitable Lady is the delightfully witty first book in the Moth Agency Romances series. If you like engaging characters, vivid period settings, and stories based in truth, then you'll adore Lucy Greenhill's sweet tale.
